I'm in a very small programming operation, and I am trying to get my co-workers to try out Racket, or at least tolerate some of the tools being written in Racket. One of them has a very simple decision tree that he uses to evaluate programming languages: "does it have a garbage collector?", if yes, reject ...
It doesn't seem to be a speed thing, it seems to be that he is convinced that the designers of the garbage collectors look for bad times to go to work and screw up what he's doing. (You guys don't do that, right? 😀) It got me thinking though - is it possible to run modern Lisp-y languages without a garbage collector? Is it even smart to try? I know that there must be a trade off, I just didn't know enough about what was traded off to explain it to him. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
