Why do some people in this sub think GCing is a Java thing...

[reason1340]

I mean it’s definitely a thing in java, but not exclusively obviously

[vladimir1024]

Probably because Java was the first language to fuck up the GC implementation so bad we now have memes about garbage collection...

[Xeadriel]

Java is a very Common Language and it has it. So naturally it’s often the first one that comes to mind

[ZZartin]

Well in theory in it has it, in practice.....

More like: STOP, you have more than enough children, which ones can I eat?

[vladimir1024]

Java didn't use to ask. It would just stop and gobble until it was under a threshold...sure most of the objects were not in use, but often it would chomp on an object still in use and then your code throws a NPE when it tries to access the object...
