> When garbage collection moves to the container runtime, it should mean that the application no longer has to worry about garbage collection, since the container runtime will terminate the container when it reaches its memory limit.

I can't be the only one horrified at that statement.

Whatever happened to writing software that doesn't use infinite RAM + infinite CPU? Why rely on the container / OS to just kill your misbehaving process and restart it?

My background is embedded 8-bit RTOS. We cared about the resources we used.
