It is Erlang, it is not meant to be run on 256Mb RAM ;) It kind 
of solves the issue of response latency for GC-enabled software 
on powerful enterprise servers. Because with stop-the-world GC 
you can't do it, does not matter how powerful your hardware is.

Does not help game dev and small-scale embedded though, that for 
sure ;)
