Thank you. I didn't know that one GC that I regularly use (as a user) - the one in Android - is so advanced these days. Interesting!

ART is a pretty astoundingly advanced JVM which gets nearly no publicity. It's a real shame. I bet a properly supported desktop version would be quite competitive with HotSpot!

It also does mixed AOT / JITC, amongst other tricks.
