Done. Thanks for the author's point of view, but I personally would trade all those decades and tuning put into the JVM's GC for tests done by Go engeneers in the field. Evidence always trumps any theoretisation. :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
