No.

There was an interesting issue.

The clever trick was disallowed and the programs that used the clever trick were removed.

> … insanely close with double the allocations…

No, what you see is not with double the allocations.

The clever trick was disallowed and the programs that used the clever trick were removed.

Read the program source code.



I didn’t know that those results were removed, but nonetheless, at the time with double the allocation Java was insanely close to the “cheating” C# program.


I doubt that your allegation of dishonesty is welcome in this forum.

What allegation? I put cheating into quotes, indicating that I by no means mean bad-faith behind it. My point was to point out how great Java’s GC is.

Especially that my whole comment was actually defending C#, even though I’m not particularly fond of it.

That only works when you make little quoting gestures with your fingers.


Then feel free to read them visualizing me doing just that
