Re: [go-nuts] Go without garbage collector

[Robert Engels]

Note sure where you are getting that - their own report  https://www.scylladb.com/product/benchmarks/aws-i3-metal-benchmark/ is garbage as their rational is completely flawed in choosing less bare metal nodes (but far bigger) - they have exponentially reduced the communication costs... Additionally, running single Java nodes on the metal machine would perform far better. Also, the GC tuning is not designed for latency with max pauses of 500ms.

Re-run the tests on Shenandoah or Zing and see how they compare.

Well, Cassandra has a rewrite in C++ ScyllaDB hat performs many times better so that particular example isn't really helping the GC case.

I don't mind the GC myself but I hear the "GC is actually faster" often and it seems not to be true in the wild although I am sure theoretical cases can be envisioned.

Bound to use more cpu cycles and memory than a c equivalent. Of course postgres
is more capable.
