I remember seeing a blog post about that years ago and I probably bookmarked it but Firefox doesn't seem to have a way to search bookmarks for "Java" but not "JavaScript" and it appears "memory" wasn't part of the page title.
(And it's entirely possible it was back when I ONLY saved a copy of articles of that tier of "I may need this again" via ScrapBook/WebScrapBook, I haven't yet set up the browser/indexer for those and a few quick ripgrep searches aren't turning it up.)
I believe it had something to do with the JVM having some flawed semantics which couldn't be fixed without breaking compatibility with existing bytecode.
