What's all this fuss about Erlang? (2007)

You are making the error of comparing BEAM with a specific JVM implementation.

Not all available JVMs on the market have "a block the world GC" and the way multi-processing is done is implementation defined.

I could be wrong but I was under the impression that the four major JVM gc's all had a stop the world phase and while multi-processing is implementation specific I'm not aware of a robust pre-emptive multiprocessing model built for the JVM. If you have robust examples that are contrary to this I'd be interested in hearing about them.

Azul doesn't. It's not a differnt GC for the hotspot VM, it's a separate VM altogether
