That is not the first time I want to understand a bit better the performance difference today between the approaches of Rust, without a garbage collector, ARC on Swift with the reference counting and other garbage collected languages, such as Javascript.

I know Javascript have an unfair advantage here, since the competition between V8 and the other javascript cores is huge over the years and garbage collection on JS is not often a problem. At least I see more people struggling with the JVM GC with its spikes in resource usage.

I've also heard that the erlang VM (be it written in elixir or erlang itself) implements GC on a different level, not to the global process, but on a more granular way.

Is there a good resource that compare the current state of performance between those languages or approaches?
