 @09bda9ab nice.   The issue with .NET’s GC is that it is one sophisticated piece of equipment and needs a bunch of very hard infrastructure to solve the problem-  beyond the actual algorithmic changes.   These guys detail what would be needed: https://www.azul.com/products/components/pgc/ 
 @80f08b97 @09bda9ab oh it would be very interesting to see this brought into .NET.  

i used them for some very low-latency, high thread-count systems and it looked like the real deal.  we had some issues with offheap data management issue (this was years ago), but the GC stuff looked really appealing for us with the JVM 
 @acebdd22 @09bda9ab yes that would be great.  Maybe Azul can find a business around this
