What are the cases where the is untrue? Are they mainstream or niche? It would be a shame to caution people away from GC by default because there exist niche cases where GC performance doesn't match manual management.
- vvanders 9y agoIt's not always possible to get cache coeherancy with a ref based language which can be 10-50x difference in performance.
- zaarn 9y agoRefs might be but they aren't inherent to GC, you can have Refs without GC. I would love to see a benchmark of GC vs non-GC using the same compiler and language for an accurate comparison. Probably also GC vs non-GC naive vs non-GC optimized.
