That's interesting. Implementing an efficient GC without moving/copying is certainly a challange and it's nice to see that research and development is still ongoing and successful. I wonder how large Go enterprise application

The paper introduces a mathematical model for chord consonance based on integer relations (i.e. just intonation, Pythagorean principles). Essentially all music today is equal tempered. So I assume it's mostly of theoretical interest.
