Do check out the binary-tree benchmark of the benchmark game. You can see how ridiculously ahead of every other managed language Java is when it comes to GC - and while C# and Go can indeed get away with slightly less allocations (until Valhalla happens at least), my experience is that object allocation can’t be that easily avoided in most general purpose applications, and allocation/GC is often the bottleneck at the typical big web application scale. Here Java’s state-of-the-art GC algorithm(s) are pretty much unbeatable.

It is not without reason that FAANG and Fortune500 companies have many/most of their critical web services running on top the JVM (Apple, Google, Amazon, Alibaba, Twitter, etc).
