This is true, but a lot of those latency sensitive applications are hard latency requirements, where you have to do something in X time, but doing it faster than X isn't actually useful.
There are realtime GCs that can meet these hard requirements.
- monocasa 8y agoThose hard real time GCs everytime I've seen them come with overall throughput compromises. Many times real time constraints and overall throughput aren't mutually exclusive. And even on the soft real time side, like rendering modern GUI, GC pauses causing frameskips (you have ~16ms to render each frame) makes your app look janky.
