So does Erlang, but it's not really a bug. Symbols (atoms, whatever) are guaranteed to be a unique identifier, so the fact that they're allocated and exist for the duration of execution isn't really surprising. It's just something you need

I dislike how basic functionality like this is completely broken, yet ads are being served. You can see where the priorities are. :(

Has it been confirmed whether or not the iPhone uses this? Since Jobs never let the carriers touch the base OS, I'm assuming it does not.
