Comment on Comparison of Erlang Runtime System and Java Virtual Machine [pdf]

Wouldn't it be more correct to speak of the EVM as opposed to ERTS here? ERTS defines things like the boot protocol, distribution protocol, term serialization, port drivers, NIFs and BIFs. Though when talking about scheduling semantics, that's on the EVM level (to differentiate it from BEAM in particular).

Otherwise, a decent high-level overview.
