Compared to Java where lot of objects will force "stop the world garbage collector to run" and "pause" the execution, how will Elixir gc behave?

To elaborate on this If I have created 1 million processes which are short lived and are supposed to finish within certain SLA then will Elixir provide better reliability compared to Java?

    Yes, Elixir will provide better reliability, ErlangVM does not stop the world and there are tons of articles in the internet on this exact subject. – Aleksei Matiushkin Feb 23 '18 at 09:30
  • Java objects "will for"? What does that mean? – 7stud Feb 23 '18 at 10:09
