Not a true statement. Go does not have long pauses, but it has
slightly slower code and a penalty for interfacing with C. Go
also has finalization with dependencies, so that they execute
in the right order…
The downsides/upsides of GC isn't something fixed for all
designs.
That was not a comment about GC implementations in general, it
was about D's GC implementation, check the original post on
Quora, and read the statement right before this one, maybe it
will make this point clearer
This post on Quora, makes it fully clear to me that the makers
of D are fully aware of D's position
Not sure how you reached that conclusion.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Andrei is a smart guy, and the post was very honest, it was not
biased at all.
And it raises many concerns I see in many post by people who are
a lot less involved with D, like the issues with the GC and the
illusive vision
