I'd be curious about knowing the technical details, as the article is pretty much an advertisement. Example: the vast majority of the GC section is about GC in general; only a small part is specific about C4, and with little details.
Specifically, the C4 looks very interesting, although I'm a bit perplexed because, if it was universally good as it's written, they would have essentially solved one of the major problems not just for Java, but for a large amount of languages.
- walkingolof 6y agoThere are free GC's now that is on par with C4, ZGC and Shenandoah, improving vastly on the latency of the G1 default GC. Here is a good article on them. https://blogs.oracle.com/javamagazine/understanding-the-jdks-new-superfast-garbage-collectors https://blogs.oracle.com/javamagazine/understanding-the-jdks...
- kasperni 6y agoZGC and Shenandoah are not on par with C4. ZGC isn't even generational (yet).

In a way, low-latency GCs like C4 and ZGC have done that, but implementing them requires a large and experienced team, and not many languages even try to target high performance to begin with.
