Do you have a source for that? It's an interesting idea.

- kasey_junk 9y agoI don't have a source but I did it when I worked in HFT & it wasn't novel.
- hyperpape 9y agoYou can probably find discussions if you dig around in the mechanical sympathy mailing list. My impression, btw, is that it still requires pretty significant efforts to control allocation. I'm not sure there's a 1-1 match, but I associate it with people writing custom substitutes for java.lang.String to avoid allocations.
- ramchip 9y agoI worked at a bank and saw that pattern used in market connection middleware as well. It's really common, but since that stuff is all closed source it's hard to point to a concrete example. (The thing was also optimized to reuse objects to allocate as little as possible... but a writeup from that team on an internal website said, basically, that Java GC was so efficient nowadays that it may not have been worth the extra maintenance effort and potential for bugs, in retrospect)
