Java can't hog gigs? Unbelievable.
It can but standard JVMs can get large pauses when your heap
exceeds maybe ~4GB? In Java it's pretty hard to avoid creating
loads of garbage but I suppose if you were very careful you could
avoid the pauses.
It would probably be more cost effective to try out the Zing JVM
from Azul Systems before doing a total rewrite.
I've been wondering if a C4-esque GC would be feasable in D for a
while. It sounds a lot like a magic bullet though, I suspect
there are downsides beyond the price tag somewhere. I would love
a response from anyone who is knowledgeable in this area.
