This was a really interesting read. It makes me wonder though - are other languages affected by this? I haven't heard any similar reports from, say, Java or Pyt

I have experienced similar memory fragmentation problems with Python 2.x. Java has a compacting garbage collector. So it should not be affected.

It's a long known problem with anything using 'real' threads and glibc malloc (to some extent, any malloc really). As an example and contrary to wozer's comment, Java is affected by this: https://github.com/prestodb/presto/issues/8993 https://github.com/prestodb/presto/issues/8993
