> they even scale well on Linux to all but the absolute most demanding workloads

What about the stack size? I guess the default is about 4 MB, compared to a few kB in Erlang or Rust. This implies a virtual memory usage 100x or 1000x higher. I understand the unused virtual pages in each stack will never be mapped to physical memory, but isn't this putting a lot of pressure on the virtual memory system? I'd be curious to read a real world benchmark on this topic.
