<blockquote cite="http://damienkatz.net/2008/04/lisp_as_blub.html"><p>Once you reach a certain level of activity in the system where the garbage collector can no longer keep up (and it will happen), then every line of code in your system is now a potential failure point that can leave the whole program in a bad state. Lisp has this problem. Java has this problem. Erlang does not.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">&mdash; <a href="http://damienkatz.net/2008/04/lisp_as_blub.html">Damien Katz</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/damien-katz">damien-katz</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/erlang">erlang</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/faliure">faliure</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/garbagecollection">garbagecollection</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/java">java</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/lisp">lisp</a></p>
