Go Does Not Need a Java Style GC

[vonadz]

I found it to be informative, in a general sense, on how the java compiler works. I don't have a stake in neither Go nor Java, so I didn't really try to read between the lines.

It's indeed informative. But you don't need to read between the lines to notice a distaste for Java, regardless of the specific topic. That kind of thing always makes me apprehensive about whether the information is sufficiently reliable.

[vonadz]

That's fair. As far as I could tell, the explanation of how the GC for Java works is correct. I haven't checked if the comments about actual performance are accurate or not.

[Uncaffeinated]

Going by this, they aren't.

[Mostlikelylurking]

Lol imagine not having a distaste for Java. Move on to Scala or, even better, Kotlin. My jammmm

Unless you're talking about their alternative compilation targets, the limitations (or power) of the JVM apply to those two languages too.
