Java GC needs to be drastically improved in my opinion.

Oracle's plan to merge the Sun HotSpot Java Virtual Machine with the JRockit JVM is underway, hopefully within a realistic time schedule we could have some kick-butt GC :)

I only quickly read the article, haven't yet installed & played with BigMemory yet. But I'm gonna vote it up simply because they are working on something truly useful and hard-to-solve. Wonder if this is open-source like the other Terracotta projects....

Yeah their subconscious has realized that JVM was a mistake but it has not yet went down their awareness.

No one cares to think about the fact that GTK is platform independent and with good money poured in it can replace virtual machines. GTK came after jvm that was the one mistake that happened. M$ should have forked GTK and defeated jvm but they were not smart enough.

@RawThinkTank

WTF are you talking about?

I believe RawThinkTank thinks he is on Digg.

Digg is dead, its time for Reddit, i think DZone should be careful while spaming us with fullscreen ads.

M$ could have easy taken advantage of native mode gtk and also went platform independent when they wanted to take on jvm , but instead they copied it.

Very interesting, those Terracotta guys have been doing some very interesting stuff in the past, so I'm definitely taking this very seriously. Yet, I would really love to learn some more details. You obviously can't really store stuff in a non-heap forever without ever cleaning it, so what's the trick here?
