Yes: in the same way a boat and a car are similar since they both "take you from A to B".
Now, do you really don't see how a Java/GO style GC and reference counting are different?
It's not like I didn't enumerate some characteristics that make all the difference - and that explain why people do not think of those two cases as just a single thing called "garbage collection", and also why people believe that ARC would have less overhead than a Java/GO style garbage collector.
- pjmlp 3y agoThere isn't a Java style GC, there are multiple implementations, including with reference counting GC algorithms. The language and runtime specification don't say anything about GC algorithms required by compliant implementations.
