Fuck whoever it is, but I cannot say that I know a single person involved in the formalization of any language and I'm not starting now.
I've only used C/C++ and Python for the last ~10years. Fuck Java, the last thing I worked on was a rewrite of Java mixnetworking software, totally interoperable with Java version peers. Went from 1.5GiB memory consumption out of the box to 15MiB.
Sounds like the Java version wasn't written with aggressive GC reference culling in mind -- it will never be as memory-efficient as a purpose-built C/C++/Rust program, but 1.5 GB sounds egregious.
