There was an article the other day on HN about Golang compiler and work on its GC. (Garbage Collection)

As the article goes on, it becomes clear that a modern GC managed system is no simple thing. As you start to add all the choices and tuning you end up re-inventing the JVM runtime.

Any program of sufficient complexity eventually ends up having GC.

Java may be too resource hungry for trivial programs. For large programs Java is an industrial strength runtime platform. Or I should say the JVM is. You don't have to use the Java language. You can use a number of languages that compile to JVM bytecode.

How so?
