Technically why is processes in Erlang more efficient than OS threads?
- by Jonas
Spawning processes seam to be much more efficient in Erlang than starting new threads using the OS (i.e. by using Java or C). Erlang spawns thousands and millions of processes in a short period of time.
I know that they are different since Erlang do per process GC and processes in Erlang are implemented the same way on all platforms which isn't…
