It’s amazing! But it says that Erlang will use more memory after this, and it already used too much memory comparing to Go or Node, or even Ruby.
(Of course BEAM does a lot of more work which causes the higher use of memory).

When would that be an issue DG?

It may become an issue when the amount of memory available is small, like in Heroku, Gigalixir or some of AWS/GCP instances.
