| >But what about GC pauses GC is like auto transmission, it's an inevitable natural evolution of programming languages. I think the future of programming languages will have hybrid modes of GC and manual, similar to today's hybrid auto transmission automatic and manual in state-of-the-art hypercar [1]. I considered D language as pioneer in this innovative approach. My hypothesis is that GC can be made deterministic like manual memory management, just like how ICE auto industry minimize the manual transmission. Heck, no manual for EV. Hopefully the new io_uring facility with BPF controlled can enable this deterministic GC [2],[3].
