When :kill doesn’t kill the process

One of the first things you learn about signals is that :kill isn’t trappable, even when trap_exit is on.
So I was surprised to catch {:EXIT, pid, :kill} in handle_info with the process still very much alive :smiley:

thank you! :smiley:

Nice article. Very concise and well-explained. Also good to see others reading the source code to understand a language. Glad I’m not alone. lol.
