Presentation: Tweet"Garbage Collection is Good!"
Is Garbage Collection the source of all evil? Why do you have to care about compaction? This is a fairly entertaining and yet painful presentation around garbage collection – as it probably will end with more questions than answers. It will on a fairly high-level take you through a journey of garbage collection – the basics, the algorithms, the good, the bad, and the necessary ugly. It will to anyone curious about garbage collection leave you with a bad taste of “I knew it” or even worse “I need to fix this”. Take it from a previous GC innovator, there is no silver bullet…or is there? If you are easily addicted to impossible problems to solve, you should probably for safety stay away from this talk.
Unrelated to the topic of the talk, I will also rant a bit (if time allows) about what NOT to measure.
