What if you're in a low-everything environment?
- Taek 11y agoAt some point you can no longer afford the luxury of a garbage collector. As the tech gets better, that point gets lower and lower, but there are still limitations.
- NateDad 11y agoPhones have two gigs of RAM and four cores these days. Low what? If you're talking software on an internet connected fridge, then, maybe, but that's a pretty niche area even in today's mostly theoretical and overpriced IOT world.
- millstone 11y agoThen don't use Go. Go was pitched as a systems language, but has found its niche as a server language. It's to be expected that the maintainers will make decisions that tune it for servers.
- wereHamster 11y agoDon't use a language which has GC. Allocate all objects statically.. no memory management needed at runtime.
