> There is a whole generation of programmers that have come to equate GC with Java's 10 second pauses
Anyone who has ever shipped a C# Unity game know the pain that is the garbage collector. It’s effectively impossible to avoid frame hitches with the GC.
I’ve spent a LOT of time going way out of my way to avoid any and all garbage collects. Which somewhat defeats the purpose of using a GC-based language.
I definitely would say “GC used to be bad but now it’s good”. That tale has been spun for 30+ years at this point!
