What is the difference between the concurrency models of Erlang, Elixir, and Scala?

    Sorry, but this question shows zero effort in doing any research yourself. There are enough websites explaining each concurrency model. If you have a concrete question then ask that one instead. – Brotcrunsher Oct 14 '17 at 21:37

    Even without leaving Stackoverflow, I'm pretty sure you can find answers regarding Erlang vs Scala – Al-un Oct 14 '17 at 21:49

    I get what you're asking and why you're asking it -- this is a *very* important subject to understand -- but most people on SO will probably not find this to be a good fit for SO's Q/A style. I answered this with a list of references because its just too hard to answer with zero prior knowledge assumed on the part of the asker. This will *probably* work best if I just create a page external to SO with some general conceptual information and a list of references. – zxq9 Oct 15 '17 at 05:18
  • Incidentally, this is relevant in important ways, but not a strong enough source of general information to put down as a canonical reference below, imo: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46747592/elixir-processes-and-no-shared-heap-memory/46748169#46748169 – zxq9 Oct 17 '17 at 10:34

This is way too hard to answer from a point of zero prior knowledge. I think the most valuable way to even approach it (because this sort of thing gets asked all the time in a most unhelpful sort of way) is to include some links to reference information about these -- and then close the question.

(If this is such a bad idea in the minds of other SO users that you think we should delete this entirely I'll create a resource page external to SO to use as a future reference-to-references.)

    While I'm very grateful for the recommendation for "Seven Concurrency Models", I would prefer that SO answers do not include links to pirated copies of copyright material. I've changed it to a link to the book's page on the publisher's website. – Paul Butcher Oct 21 '17 at 10:53
  • @PaulButcher Gotcha. I was not aware that was a pirate link. Thanks for fixing it. – zxq9 Oct 21 '17 at 11:01
