Yikes. Fortunately Java is a supported language at Uber, though some teams are more serious about it than others. Scala is also accepted because of Spark.

I guess I misunderstood things then. It's difficult to reconcile why they'd be using a legacy version of Java that required these specific GC tunings if they weren't forced to use it because of libraries that couldn't be replicated or replaced in GoLang. Sounds like it's a much bigger mess there than what I had assumed (I guess I was giving them too much of the benefit of the doubt).
