It is Erlang, it is not meant to be run on 256Mb RAM ;) It kind
of solves the issue of response latency for GC-enabled software
on powerful enterprise servers. Because with stop-the-world GC
you can't do it, does not matter how powerful your hardware is.
Does not help game dev and small-scale embedded though, that
for sure ;)
Actually there is a game studio in Germany, Wooga that uses
Erlang for their game servers, they are quite happy to have left
C++ land.
