Honest question (I don’t know the answer):
If there is only one scheduler how would their program be executed?

Processes are preemptively scheduled, so when one of them reaches a point at which they can yield control, the scheduler will let another run. (Points that can yield include sleeping, waiting for IO, or reaching a certain number of reductions)

In the user’s example, is it possible for this to happen:
- The main process spawns all the
Workers - It hits
Process.sleepand yields to theWorkers - The
Workers hitProcess.sleepand yield back to the main process - The main process finishes before any of the
Workers send their message
