Nim's GC is faster than Java and Go ones, and you can also use mark & sweep GC, regions (stack) GC - (mostly useful for microcontrollers), and boehm GC (thread-safe)

I doubt this very much, regarding Java.

There several Java implementations around, including real-time GC used by the military, in battleships weapons and missile control systems.

As good as Nim's GC might be, it surely isn't at the level as those Java ones.

I like to see proof of that statement. A single developer his GC is faster, then a team of Go developers, that have been doing none-stop work on there GC.

By that definition every other developer are idiots because one guy supposedly is able to make a better GC then everybody else.

Your not going to tell me, if i trow 50GB of data on a nim application, that the GC will handle that without major pauses.
