Is it possible to have multi states in genserver?

thus any minimal update to the state will mean creating new state.

Large parts of the “new state” may in fact be the “old state” - thanks to immutability, persistent data structures are possible, so that “minimal update” will likely not create a whole new copy of the state.

How Elixir Manages Memory?

As we all know elixir is an immutable language, for example consider tha below statement statement1: map = %{ “name” => “hari”, “age” => 22 } statement2: if i want update map with new key, value, i write a statement as follows map = Map.put_new(map, “gender”, “male”) if i update a value like in statement2, it copies the whole map(statement1) onto another variable, then how does it manage memory efficiently?
