I think Julia's GC is quite good now, it can even multithread.
- adgjlsfhk1 3y agoI'd probably describe it as "moderately good". Julia has a pretty major head-start over languages like Java because it can avoid putting most things on the heap in the first place. The main pain point for the GC currently that Julia is missing some escape analysis that would allow it to free mutable objects with short lifetimes (mainly useful for Arrays in loops). The multi-threading definitely helps in a lot of applications though.
