The idea that high-performance application may want to process data without producing garbage is not something new.  Check, for example, this link: http://oreilly.com/catalog/javapt/chapter/ch04.html

The same could be said about lock-free design.  It is well known approach to increase performance of multi-threaded applications.

Ultralog is not the first Java library designed to be garbage- and lock-free and focused on demands of high performance applications.  See, for example, LMAX Disruptor: http://lmax-exchange.github.com/disruptor/  It is all about hot to avoid lock and garbage creation and it states itself as "High Performance Inter-Thread Messaging Library".

Ultralog is even not the first attempt to create garbage-free logging framework for Java.  See, for example, the following link: https://bitbucket.org/vladimir.dolzhenko/gflogger/wiki/Home  It states its goal as "to create ad-hoc logger for low latency (latency critical) applications (to be precise for latency critical execution path) which will affect application explicit and implicit (though gc pauses) as less as it possible".  It does not claim itself to be lock-free though.

What is new in ultralog in comparison with gflogger, is that it demonstrates that garbage-free logging could be done without sacrificing code readability.
