Yes, I am Quasar's main author, but note that I'm not advocating Quasar. I'm advocating Erlang, only on the JVM. And yes, Quasar has all those features, too, but an Erlang implementation on the JVM would use the Erlang implementation, not Quasar's Java implementation.

> Can erlang on the JVM do that?

Of course it can! Just like BEAM does it. (In fact, Quasar used to do that, too. We took out that feature because Quasar also gives you access to kernel threads, and processes that take to long can just be moved to kernel threads, which does this kind of preemption better, anyway. But an Erlang implementation on the JVM can behave just as Erlang does on BEAM).
