Modern garbage collection
I read "typical worst-case pause time" in go and don't know whether to laugh or cry.<p>We are seeing massively longer pauses in production and the suggestion is to go to 1.8, which is not ready.<p>Reminds me of ruby - religious people practicing on production to get the nirvana.<p>Yes, it's getting better, or at least less bad, but yeesh.  We'll just waste resources architecting around long pauses, and rewrite critical stuff in C,  for a few more years...
