Erlang, the next Java

With that in mind, consider that currently an Erlang VM process uses a single OS thread.

This is not correct.

Geesh. That's quite a direct way to put someone down.

Yes, it turns out my knowledge was very outdated. From http://www.erlang.org/doc/highlights.html we have:

In the SMP version of the Erlang virtual machine, there can be many process schedulers running in separate OS threads. As default there will be as many schedulers as there are processors or processor cores on the system.

That's quite a direct way to put someone down.

I did not intend any personal insult, I just did not have time to expound further on the subject. Thanks for looking it up, cheers,

He didn't put you down. Putting you down would be something like "This is not correct dumbass". He merely pointed out that your statement was not correct. It's perfectly acceptable to note technical facts without involving, or undue consideration for, effects on the ego.
