Did I ever say otherwise? I don't blame Azul for making this work proprietary. I'm taking a stance against the rhetoric - this isn't a realistic choice for most people. Most people will buy more hardware over licensing expensive software, especially as hardware generally has reusable value, independent of your technology stack. This is especially true at the low end, where not everyone has massive A series or continuous funding. You have to plan a lot up front at that level to pay off your dividends here if you don't already have steady cash. And many people don't use the JVM at all. So the 'choice' of a pauseless collector is mostly a farce, as far as I can see. > Another choice is to write your software without a VM, many languages support this. Thank you for completely and totally missing the point. Didn't I just say something about "Not everyone uses the JVM", and your response is "just use another completely different language and technology stack"? We're going in circles here. Which other platforms support the C4 collector, including its pause times and sustained allocation rates, might I ask? Freely available open source ones, I might add.
