Comment on Erlang 28 on GRiSP Nano using only 16 MB

Comments

Is 16 MB "only" for Erlang? I thought it started like something made for embedded hardware decades ago? Wikipedia says 1986.

Makes me curious at what pace and why the size has grown from 1986-2025 and how long ago the line was crossed that made 16 MB seem like a that is now a small runtime?

Datasets have grown.
