[erlang-questions] Erlang and Akka

[Loïc Hoguin]

My main concern with anything JVM would be the lack of per process GC 
which means that latency will suffer (due to stop the world GC).

I do not know Akka so my comparison stops there. Maybe you should 
explain a little what your application is doing/background/... so you 
can get better advice on whether you should use one or another.
