For a long time I had an idea I thought was great - a lock free garbage collector that could be run on its own core to achieve zero latency. I've got 32 cores busy doing nothing and thought I could throw hardware at the problem and ge

It's vindicating to see the general response in this thread vs threads about git a decade ago, where everybody defended git and decreed all of us simpletons just don't understand it enough. Oh we do, and we understand how most of
