> Why would D with a conservative collector be "more efficient"? How does being conservative (with stack roots, presumably) fundamentally make a GC better? It wouldn't? The footnote was for Ada's applicability in the context of "foundational libraries & network stacks" (as it's often advertised as a very safe yet low-level language), because in my understanding (and again I could be wrong here) it's either GC'd and memory-safe or neither, so same as e.g. D, making it unsuitable for that layer. > Why would OCaml be better than Go? OCaml is garbage-collected, no opting out. It wouldn't either? The "also" is the second clause indicates that Go would be suitable for "systems daemons and the like", and so would pretty much any other memory-safe language, possibly restricted to the more efficient ones (non-interpreted / JITed) depending on the specific use-case. |
