The article is quite specific to the .Net garbage collector. Only some of the most general concepts touched on in the introductory sections apply to other garbage collected languages.
- kevingadd 6y agoIn particular as far as I know .NET's decision to segment things into 3 generations is pretty unusual.
- EdwardDiego 6y agoLooks broadly identical to JVM generations. Gen0 = eden space, Gen1 = survivor space, Gen2 = old gen (think they're calling it tenured now lol).
- r-bryan 6y agoUnless I'm creatively remembering, Dave Moon's EGC (Ephemeral Garbage Collector) in Symbolics Genera in 1985(?) had three generations.
