New Year, New Adventures!

Hi all and welcome to my newly-created blog (which was a breeze to set up; I'm very impressed)!

I have been at SunLabs full-time for 3+ years now working mainly on garbage collection. I recently felt that I needed a change and a new challenge. So, as the last digit of the year is about to change, I am transferring to the HotSpot garbage collection team. I have been collaborating with the guys in the team for some time now, I know them pretty well, and I'm really looking forward to joining them and contributing.

I'm also really excited about working more with developers and understanding their (your?) needs to ensure that my work is topical and relevant. Lots of people claim that GC is a solved problem. Still, there's still lots of interesting and cool stuff to do and I'd better stop writing this and get back to work!

In the blog I'll try to cover latest news from the team, as well as my personal views (and rants!) on garbage collection.

And on that note, I'd like to wish you all happy holidays and a very happy new year! And keep reloading this page!

Good luck in the new job at Sun. I assume you will still be on the same campus.

Hi Darren. Thanks! Yes, I'll be staying at the Burlington campus (when I'm not travelling that is!). Cheers, Tony
