&quot;Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and the BSDs we have today are still built using the architecture developed when computing resources were limited even though it is no longer technically necessary.&quot;<p>Nonsense! Why would you waste any resources on infrastructure when you could use them for applications. Every cycle that your garbage collector runs is a cycle that the cpu could have been sleeping and saving battery life. This concept that we don&#x27;t need to care about resources anymore is absolute poppycock.
