I wonder who said that huh
Anyone working in the low latency/interactive field, including
game developers, will tell you the same things: GCs are bad,
you need to prepare ahead of time, and you should reuse
your buffers and objects.
Yeah no that's not happening. Maybe YOU are going to tell me
that, but no, not just anyone. GC == Bad people are just
extremists. Tell that to all the people making commercial games
in Java and C# and you'll get laughed at and you know what, I
live near montreal where lots of video games companies operate
and I know people who work for those companies... and they use
C#, an aggressively GC'd language. Do you know what they say when
I tell them about this silly little bacon dance the nogc folk are
doing everyday in D land? I'll let you guess...
