Funnily enough, Go just chose to solve the problem the other way around: While JVM tackled GC with the code equivalent of lightsaber-equipped drones, Go‘s GC is almost embarrassingly simple in comparison (although it‘s pretty decent by now)

OP here, while we're at it, there should be a possibility to retract an article after posting. I've fact checked this and it looks like you're right, however I have no possibility to kill the article at the current moment.

Back then, my definition was „Java collections with an API“, and to me it still fits the bill nicely. You basically have some solid computer science primitives to build whatever you want on top, only limited by memory size (which is enough
