As far as I know, java has 7 GC implementations, none of which are perfect, all of which have drawbacks

Lately, they seems to work with CRIU, various heuristics, multi-stage in-process bytecode compilation ..

Java is a mess, they are working hard to avoid fixing their issue (that nobody else have, so fixes are available)

Compared to Python's, all of them are beyond perfect. And 99.9% of the time you don't even need to use anything but the default.
