So instead of debating this endlessly, I think this is about
the tenth time this has come up in the last two years, why
doesn't a group of people who know about GC algorithms get
together and write a new one?
Java has had a large number of GCs over the years: new
knowledge, new algorithms, new implementation lead to better
performance.
Go has had at least three GCs as new knowledge, new algorithms,
new implementation lead to better performance.
D has had lots of discussion on email lists but no-one has
followed this up with actually doing something that resulted in
a change.
support.
Why not write a new GC to replace the simple and old GC.
