Thanks James! Maybe you could explain the relevance of these other GCs to me. It is not immediately obvious to me. While obviously it is interesting to learn the full breath of Java collectors, this story has as main focus why Go does not use Java style GC. Or rather why it would be less useful to Go. I am not trying to cover all Java collectors. That is too big of a topic and I would be the wrong person to write it. I don’t write much Java code and have no particular interest in Java as a developer. Part of the reason is also because Java is a far too big ecosystem. It is a bit too late to attempt to be a skilled Java developer at age 43 😉
