I don’t think so. Ref counting is a counter associated with the object which counts references to it and when it becomes null, object is destroyed. Hence ref counting. While GC does graph traversal to find which objects can be reached and marks unreachable ones as candidates for destroying.

It’s not trivial as it seems. See https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/37667 and enhancement that happened only in .NET 8.

I don’t think that’s even possible - to have that much control over GC engine that is.

TBH I almost don’t play games and I’m genuinely curious whether GC pauses are noticeable. And not only Rust, there is Swift as well.

Um, no, C# most definitely uses GC, not ref counting, and you can’t not use it.

So, pay more it is.

Welcome GC pauses :) I wonder how do those manifests in real life.

Not really, even GUI is going strong, check Avalonia UI.

It was even before through mono/xamarin

It still could be a mistake in the long term, though. Imagine the wise US administration slapping 1,220,332% tariffs on Taiwan? Or China wreaking havoc there. I still think Intel could fare well with better leadership handling their fabs.

AMD did that, but Global Foundry doesn’t do that well, at least compared to TSMC. Also Intel was going strong with their fabs until AMD started building better chips architecture wise. I’m just saying that splitting might not work.

C’mon they have a video showing it! It has to be real!!!

I’d say games. I’d that really takes off, Linux would replace Windows and all other standards will follow.

Java has still an enormous adoption, though. It’d be very self harming making it deprecated. And I don’t think containerization solves majority of cases, perhaps it does it better in backend. So both GC and Java are here with us like forever 🤷‍♂️

If it has to be JVM, then Kotlin. Java done properly.

I moved from Spotify to tidal as well. Tidal is fine except for their catalogue mess. They tend to group different artists with same name to a single artist. Here and there I feedback them, they correct it in a week or so but the first next album is wrong again. But I’m glad that at least it pays music owners better and doesn’t throw money at shit podcasts and such

It works well, what do you want more? Sure, it’s not official but the most of the important bits are official since at it’s core it’s a web app.

Right and the only issue is with 3rd parties which will eventually migrate as well. Basically we’re not in a hurry and migration should happen eventually.

The official reason for tariffs is government subsidy AFAIK, but in reality the moment they lower the tariffs, US and EU automobile industry is done.

Not necessarily as they are using LFP chemistry which has much more cycles than the standard one.
