"A brief introduction to BEAM", read the new Blog post by John Högberg at the OTP team
Read the new Blog post by John Högberg at the OTP team.
It is a brief primer on BEAM, the virtual machine that executes user code
in the Erlang Runtime System (ERTS). It’s intended to help those new to
BEAM follow an upcoming series of posts about the JIT in OTP 24, leaving
implementation details for later.
