Isn't the JVM kinda of a universal GC? Putting the different GCs in the JVM itself aside, a lot of other languages actually have runtimes for Java and work very well, used in production and all. Jython, JRuby, JS engines (Rhino/Nashorn), Groovy, etc.
- bradfitz 3y ago> Isn't the JVM kinda of a universal GC? Nope. No interior pointers for one.
- masklinn 3y agoThe reference JVM has at least 4 different GCs, with pages of tunables. That’s a far cry from universal.
- augusto-moura 3y agoAFAIK all of the different GCs are implementation transparent, no? Implementations like Jython or Jruby work independently of the GC being used
- masklinn 3y agoIf your criteria for a universal GC is that the GC does the job of a GC, every GC is universal.
