What are those aspects?
newb to this area.
- 59nadir 11mo agoA few key things: - Leaning on a pre-emptive scheduler to maintain order even in the presence of ridiculous amounts of threads ("processes" on the BEAM) running - Using supervision trees to specify how and when processes and their dependents should be restarted - Using `gen_server` processes as a standard template for how a thread should be running There's more to mine from using the BEAM, but I think the above are some of the most important aspects. The first two I've never found to be fully replicated anywhere other than in OTP/BEAM. You don't need them, but once you're bought into the BEAM they're incredibly nice to have.
