True. However in the bounded-time GC space few projects share the same definitions of low-latency or real-time. So you have to find a language that meets all of your other desiderata and provides a GC that meets your timing requirements. Perc looks interesting, Metronome made similar promises about sub-ms latency. But I'd have to get over my JVM runtime phobia.
- pjmlp 1y agoI consider one where human lifes depend on it, for good or worse depending on the side, real time enough.
- bccdee 1y agoHuman lives often depend on processes that can afford to be quite slow. You can have a real time system requiring only sub-hour latency; the "realness" of a real-time deadline is quite distinct from the duration of that deadline.
