It does but the GC can still stop-the-world pause threads that aren't touching GC memory. The author's proposed isolation would provide a way to avoid that.
I wanted to reply to you directly. I was truly impressed by your comments. You understood the precise, deep technical problem I was aiming at—the GC's 'stop-the-world' pauses affecting even non-GC threads—even from my admittedly clumsy and brief initial post. Thank you for that.
What I failed to convey properly, however, is that this performance mechanism is just one small consequence of a much larger idea. It's a foundational piece of a complete architectural model I've designed to address the fundamental pains of the current microservice paradigm.
I have now finished a full manifesto that lays out this entire vision. It includes a deep critique of our current ecosystem and presents the philosophy for a new style of programming intended to solve these core issues.
Given the depth of your understanding from that first article, I would be genuinely honored to get your critical feedback on the full proposal. If you're interested, the new post and discussion are here:
