| > Java programming language isn't Java platform. Java was originally developed by SUN together with its platform. SUN did not develop Java and then later looked how to implement it. Java was specifically developed with its implementation for a few specific projects - originally set top boxes and mobile devices. SUN didn't develop Java for Microsoft or Google - Microsoft and Google just copied parts of it years later. If it were legal, they would have copied all of it. Microsoft then mostly abandoned Java and is no longer relevant in the Java world. Same for Google, Kotlin is now their favorite language for Android development. Incompatible platforms for Java are on the way out. > GC isn't part of Lisp. Never was. Never will. It's like saying flying is not something birds usually do, just because there are a few birds which don't fly. 95% of all Lisp installations (including Lisp 1) use some form of automatic memory management, usually a form of GC and the language is designed to be used that way. Lisp implementations which don't use GC need extra facilities for manual memory management. > was exxagerating to emphasize my point.

That's incorrect. Java programming language is part of the platform.
> Microsoft then mostly abandoned Java and is no longer relevant in the Java world.
Another incorrect statement. Microsoft didn't abandon Java, they were forced to abandon Java because of legal issues with Sun. That's why they created .NET. They are irrelevant because they decided to stop fighting Sun and created their own platform.

Lisp isn't even in the top 30. My exxageration were accurate.
> Kotlin is now their favorite language for Android development.
Google is only doing that because they were forced by Oracle. It is a forced choice.

That's not what I mean. All I am saying is that Gabrge collection isn't a feature of a programming language, it is a feature of the platform
