So I admire their goal to reduce latency (it's probably a latency-throuhput tradeoff) and I always get told that real-time (which in my opinion requires low-latency) is possible in GC-languages, I just do not know how to do that reliable. But I hope I am wrong and it is possible to go real-time with a GC as it is often a prerequisite for high-level language features.
ISTR that producing a clean sign wave on a scope requires a real-time operating system, and it was one of the first tests for seeing if your real time linux patches worked.
