		rdtsc on April 8, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Erlang 19.0 Garbage Collector Very well done article. Release 19.0 is looking exciting, other things they seem to be planning on (this is mainly from Erlang Factory 2016 Slides): * 10x faster tracing * Dirty schedulers turned on by default * A new state machine OTP module * An external plugin (with LevelDB as one example) for Mnesia storage * 2x-3x faster spawning external processes + many others 18.0 brought fast maps, good time handling. It is exciting to see all this good stuff done in a 30 year old language.

Erlang is getting cool new features so fast it's hard to keep up. It's a nice problem to have :)

Are there anything else? All these seems like working on even better parallelism and reducing overhead. I wonder if there are any work on BEAm for procedure / maths calculation processing.

Edit: Where is ErlangLLVM?
