Interesting though brief read. I'd earlier read how OCaml was their unfair advantage, but apparently it comes at a cost. I can see how thinking/working at a higher level makes it even harder to control runtime concerns. I wish it had gone into more detail on the GC issues. I can't tell if it's related to interfacing with code written in lower-level languages, or runtime native code generation, or something else.
- Arnt 3y agoI've heard about that from others. There are some cases where you want constant performance. Say you receive some input and want to react with e.g. a pricing change. Then you want to defer GC until you're done with processing (and not run out of memory).
