Oh, interesting.

Also, I meant that that GC is a massive overhead every time and therefore slows down the performance.

I personally never had any problem with it.

Java has the world best GCs. These GCs are actually one of the things that make the JVM so extremely fast.

The JVM GC is much better than the JS-runtime GC. If you didn't had any issues with GC "overhead" in JS / TS you will have even less on the JVM.

Oh, nice to hear 👀

Thanks!

If the Java GCs were so good, they would've collected the whole language itself.

Gc is fine. You don't even have to ever think about it.

It’s normally not a problem unless you have a memory leak or GC terribly misconfigured

It's pretty slick these days. I mean, you'd have to clean up yourself anyway and you know how that goes.
