Comment on A brief introduction to BEAM

Comments

The JIT in OTP 24 mentioned at the top was discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24441841

I am looking forward to more blog posts about it.

A few interesting snippets from the PR comments from it:

---

[...] number of Estones as computed by the estone benchmark suite becomes about 50% larger, meaning about 50% more work can be done during the same time period. Individual benchmarks within the estone benchmark suite vary from a 170% increase (pattern matching) to no change at all (huge messages)

[...] If we run the JSON benchmarks found in the Poison or Jason, BeamAsm achieves anything from 30% to 130% increase (average at about 70%) in the number of iterations per second for all Erlang/Elixir implementations.
