programming.

It's like talking about politics and never heared about Napoleon.

Who? Seriously, you brought up /Napoleon/?

(You do realize the majority of burgeoning democracies developed post-Napoleon /didn't/ adopt the changes and policies developed during that time, right? So, at best, Napoleonic references are an interesting side-note in most political discussions everywhere /else/ except France and Quebec.)

The kind of coding I do does not require me to care about the underlying details of the language specifications, nor does it require, or encourage, me to care about the specific implementation of those specifications. Furthermore, most of the languages I use don't /have/ GC. I'm not paid to *** around with obscure underlying language implementation details. I have to fix bugs and get product out the door. You know, like 95% of paid developers have to. I'll leverage a specific algorithm only when it matters to me. Until then, it may as well not exist because it means nothing to me.

So why should I, or anyone else in the general population of OpenBSD users, care about a specific GC algorithm you care about?

A quick Google suggests that this algorithm is not the panacea you seem to think it is, anyway.

You are asking about this because, I presume, you have a special need for it. In cases like this you are advised to Build It Yourself.

If you are too lazy to do so yourself, don't be surprised and pissed off when others don't want to do it for you. This is just childish. BSD is about scratching an itch. Unless someone else gets this same itch, it's up to you to figure it out. If you can't, my hear bleeds cold borscht for you. I cordially invite you to suck it up.

Welcome to free software. You could always pay a vendor, including OpenBSD, to develop this for you.

Sorry for the harsh words, but you are coming across like an ass, and worse: a lazy ass. Not to mention you seem to like to go on the offensive overly quick, but with some of the most poorly formed and illogical arguments I've seen in a long time.

Plainly put: you sound like every other anti-platform troll out there.
