No, this one <https://paulgraham.com/carl.html>:

    4. Because we have about 2 gigs of static data we need rapid
    access to, we use C++ code to memory-map huge files containing
    pointerless C structs (of flights, fares, etc), and then access
    these from Common Lisp using foreign data accesses. A struct field
    access compiles into two or three instructions, so there's not
    really any performance. penalty for accessing C rather than Lisp
    objects. By doing this, we keep the Lisp garbage collector from
    seeing the data (to Lisp, each pointer to a C object is just a
    fixnum, though we do often temporarily wrap these pointers in Lisp
    objects to improve debuggability). Our Lisp images are therefore
    only about 250 megs of "working" data structures and code.

This sounds like there was no substantial C++ code other than an mmap
call.  As it was a chunk of static pointer-free data being mapped, there
wasn't any allocation going on.  It sounds to me like the CL
implementation was missing mmap, so they used an FFI instead.  Anyway
it's perfectly normal to do stuff like that.  It's consistent with what
I've said earlier, about most stuff in the computer's memory not being
under GC.  Are you seriously saying reference counting could have
somehow appeared instead?

Fwiw I haven't used CL in a while, but GHC has several mmap modules, so
the above approach wouldn't have needed C++ code.  E.g.:

That was the point: to keep a large amount of data out of the hands of
the Lisp garbage collector.

Admit that the Lisp garbage collector cannot scale to dealing with
large amounts of data?

You say that facetiously, but that is in fact what people are doing
nowadays, when they load huge amounts of data with NumPy, Pandas etc
for analysis with Python code.

NumPy and friends keep their data away from the CPython reference
counting system the same way mmap keeps the mapped data away from a Lisp
GC.

Large amounts of data => can’t cope.

They don’t, you know. Think of NumPy returning an array of floats:
each float has to be allocated as a Python object. According to you
(and others), that should be pretty much fatal to performance.

Numpy float arrays don't work like that at all.  They're more like in
Python's array module, a bunch of packed floats in a C-like array in
memory, though they can be non-contiguous.  That's why types like
np.int8 exist too.

Of course numpy arrays can be converted to and from Python lists, but
then the usual costs are incurred.  The NP array is refcounted as a
single object, as one would expect.

NumPy can do what it likes internally. That’s why I said “returning”:
the result must still be Python-compatible.

"Ambiguity" for "plausible deniability", apparently, because what you
just wrote doesn't really have enough detail to configure a problem at
all, it can just describe issues with implementation of computer
programs in real-life computer and computing machinery - the difference
between "infinite tape" and a human computer's desk, paper and
pens/pencils, or between "infinite tape" and a computer's resources.

If you are going to be pointing fingers at others for "ambiguity" of
this sort, it'd perhaps be at least considerate that you didn't do the
same thing in your own posts in the same 24 hour period...

(What is "*the* Lisp garbage collector"? Is that actually defined for
all lisps? Encompassing Emacs Lisp and RnRS too?)

Have you actually implemented both?  I feel like a bunch of stuff you're
saying come from inexperience.  

In my case I've implemented an Awk with reference counting and later a
Lisp with GC.  I used RC in the Awk because at that time, I didn't know
how to write a GC.  The GC in the Lisp that I wrote was quite simple but
I still wouldn't say that it was easier than RC.  Of course "serious"
GC's are very intricate and not remotely comparable to the naive
reference counting in something like Python.  It's ridiculous to say
it's easier.

Here's Simon Marlow et al's 2008 paper on the GHC garbage collector:

https://simonmar.github.io/bib/papers/parallel-gc.pdf

I have a vague recollection that the GHC GC was later redone to be even
more sophisticated.  And it's nowhere near as fancy as the GC's used in
Java which have gotten a lot more development energy.

If of any interest, the current "big" Python implementation is CPython
and it uses reference counting.  MicroPython, a smaller Python version
for microcontrollers, uses GC.  Lua, considered a smaller-footprint and
more embeddable language than Python, also uses GC.  MicroPython ran on
MCU's with as little as 16KB of ram (BBC Micro:bit v1) though that was
very cramped.  It's reasonably usable with 32KB.  I don't think CPython
could run at all on those machines.

I'd be interested to know why CPython uses RC.  If I ever meet Guido
I'll try to remember to ask him.  I do have the impression that
immediate reclamation for stuff like file descriptors was claimed as a
big advantage, before Python itself got RAII in the "with" statement.

Slightly related, do you even use Lisp?  I think your picture of how
Lisp programs use memory is also unrealistic.

I don’t claim to be smart enough to implement such things. My
experience comes from using implementations created by people much
smarter than I am.

Reference counting + GC.

Lua was designed specifically for embedding into other apps. Python
(specifically CPython) was considered less suitable because it was a
larger and more complex language.

But guess what: I think Python has become more popular for embedded
use than Lua.

That may be true, but I doubt it has much to do with memory management.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up
<https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/develop/memorymgt.html>. Note
how they need to offer a separate “tracked allocation” API for use
from C code? Somehow their “garbage collection” scheme seems to have
some interesting limitations, no doubt for speed and efficiency.

By contrast CPython simply exposes the regular object-management API
for use by extension modules. Or the external code can use regular
malloc(3)/free(3) for its own purposes (separate from interfacing with
Python), and that will work, too.

> I'd be interested to know why CPython uses RC.

Because of the reasons we’ve been discussing. You still refuse to
accept that there might be a point to that?

> Slightly related, do you even use Lisp?

Mainly for customizing Emacs.

Let’s just say, “Lisp” and “high performance” were never terms that
commonly went together. Whereas nowadays “Python” and “high
performance” are indeed commonly uttered in the same sentence ...

I think you're also pretty unfamiliar with how the implementations work.

Lua is a somewhat weird language and people may prefer Python due to
familiarity.  CPython is a pain to embed though.

The usual reason for stuff like that is so the C code doesn't have to
interact with the GC too much.

Perhaps you could post some benchmarks instead of speculating.

I don't see any clear advantages.  One early motivation was prompt
finalization when stuff goes out of scope, but later the "with"
statement was added, giving something like RAII.

Python and high performance amount to using Python as a scripting
wrapper around C libraries, or even CUDA libraries.

Someone would have to ask Guido, but I'd assume at least three reasons:

- prompt finalisation

- naive reference-counting is easy to implement in an interpreter(1)

- since Python was always going to be a wrapper around functionality
provided by a low-level language which had strong opinions about object
addresses, not moving objects in memory matters.  That rules out any
copying GC(2)

(1) If you want to get clever, like Interlisp-D did and have essentially a
single bit of reference count in objects, with objects whose counts were
greater than 1 spilling to a table elsewhere it gets a lot more fiddly.  I
don't know if Python does that.

(2) Systems which do have copying GCs which want to talk to C have an
entertaining time.  I don't know what SBCL does, but LW lets you allocate
(some) things so the GC won't move them, or won't move them in a dynamic
extent.

Exactly.  The bottleneck for 'fast Python programs' is almost always the
bits of them actually written in Python.

sbcl has 'sb-sys:with-pinned-objects' which makes sure that GC will
not move relevant objects.

That wasn’t so true when Lua first came out. Somehow Python managed to
overtake it.

> CPython is a pain to embed though.

I will say, I think Lua is more popular in proprietary apps (I think
Adobe uses it, also some game engines). CPython is particularly
well-supported among open-source content-creation apps.

My favourite example is Blender <https://docs.blender.org/api/5.1/>.
Just look at the depth of that -- the entire contents of the loaded
Blender document are exposed as Python objects.

The “with” statement is more about restoration of state -- see also
“try/finally”.

> I don't see any clear advantages.

Worth comparing garbage-collected Python implementations. For example,
someone else said that Java had a particularly good GC. Jython is, or
was, a Python implementation on top of the JVM. That should have shown
some clear performance advantages, shouldn’t it? Yet it was never
popular.

Microsoft also had a go, with IronPython built on top of its DotNet
runtime. Again, after several years of trying to promote it, it could
never work up enough interest, so eventually the project was
abandoned.

If a company with the marketing clout of Microsoft cannot make a
success of a garbage-collected alternative to CPython, then the idea
must really be bad ...

Or maybe those who would possibly use it - not already using other MS
technologies - prefer to stick with CPython &c instead of subjecting
themselves to a less portable choice with possible vendor lock-in,
restrictions on usage, and coming from MICROS~1, which does say
something about stability and compliance.

Similarly, I don't think the JVM for desktop java has ever been lauded
for being very performant and lean on resource usage.

this is like DPS (display Postscript) it worked wonderfully on X11 as
openwindows. I think the scrollbar was excellent. postscript is a
complicated language in my mind, especially when compared to C.

PostScript is a language that can make Lisp look complicated. It
offers homoiconicity, like Lisp does, but with less syntax: so much
less that it doesn’t even need macros or “special forms”, or much of a
compile-time mechanism at all.

I'm sorry, but I don't count things like Perl or CPython (or ELisp, for
that matter) as high-performance language implementations.

As tools, they can be very efficient, but it's not because they run Perl
or Python code efficiently: it's because they don't spend much time
running actual Perl and Python code (instead they spend most of their
time running code written in other languages, like C).

No, Java gets high performance because lots of money was poured into the
implementation of JVM's compilers to generate efficient machine code.
In turn, this makes the time spent managing memory more visible so it
increases pressure on the language implementors to implement efficient
memory management, and it also increases pressure on programmers to be
mindful of the amount of allocation they perform when they care
about speed.

This seems to argue that automatic memory management can be expensive.
I never claimed otherwise.  I'm just claiming that when a language
implementation has to implement automatic memory management, the choice
of reference counting will usually lead to slower execution than what
you'd get with a tracing GC.

A decade or two ago (idk about now), there was some wisdom claiming that
GC increased your program's memory footprint by quite a lot compared
with manual memory management.  The speed penalty was nowhere near as
large.

For many years this question was largely irrelevant because the rest of
the impact of automatic memory management (AMM) trumped such questions.

I'm thinking here about things like how AMM avoids security issues,
speeds up development, and makes it much easier to design generic
data-structure libraries.

There are now alternatives (mostly Rust but also languages like C++), so
it's slowly changing, but AMM remains the obvious default choice.
