> The default GC in Java HotSpot has one main knob

Do you write that from theory or experience? Because from my experience this was never enough. There are actually whole books written about tuning GC in Java.

> I have yet to see any evidence that bump allocation in the nursery would not help Go.

I can revert what you wrote here and it would be true too.

> Yes, and my view is that they're coming to incorrect conclusions.

I will ask again as someone did before. Did you reach to the Go team about your views and explained that you think they are coming to incorrect conclusions? You can do it easily by writing here[1].

I've seen you are committing a lot of time to write those things about Go in multiple submissions. The best way would be to spend this time talking with Go team and showing your view with proper argumentation. This would be better spent time than writing same thing over and over again on HN in my opinion. If you are right (which I doubt, but I can be wrong too, we are only humans after all) it would benefit whole Go community.

I've talked to the devs on Twitter, yes.

I'm more trying to correct misconceptions around GC than anything else.


> I've talked to the devs on Twitter, yes.

Can you point me to that discussion? I can't seem to find any discussion in which you participate on Twitter about Go GC with Rick Hudson or Austin Clements, Ian Lance Taylor etc.
