How does Erlang handle concurrency compared to Java?

The question is about Erlang

Answer:

Erlang handles concurrency through lightweight processes managed by its BEAM virtual machine, allowing millions of processes to run concurrently. Java, while also supporting concurrency, uses heavier threads and relies on shared memory, which can lead to contention and complexity. Erlang’s message-passing model is more efficient for distributed systems.
