Hmm, not bad at all Python 3.5 1800+ crashes, Erlang VM 9.

And I suspect Erlang's VM is more complex. Has a register VM machine. A M:N scheduler (M cpus, N processes). Fairly intricate memory allocation, hot code loading and such.



I think the author implies that 9 (unique) crashes are with limited number of executions due to slow speed. Besides, all 1800+ crashes might not be unique.


Here's my stats on python so far:
