Hi Gravis, I appreciate that, but I personally can't see how the problems of garbage collection in Java are related with good or bad programming practices, or with a supposedly terribly long chain of dependencies required by Perl and Python modules somebody mourned about earlier in the thread :) And I don't get how this relates to the development of Devuan, after all...
