Older developers get garbage collected
5 comments

There's an easy solution to that problem: have two older developers take each other as references....
That's what's known as "forming a consultancy".
Don't most garbage collectors use tracing?
Only the younger ones...
Actually, tracing GC is older than reference counting.
Only when their reference count reaches 0.
young generation garbage gets collected more often :)
They do better with generational collectors
then they cast to void()
