It's incredibly frustrating the author doesn't actually say "Garbage Collector (GC)" I'm aware but something niggling in the back of my head had me second guessing.


Even worse: they don't explain what the DATAS acronym means. Seems like the author makes too many assumptions about the knowledge base of their reader IMO.


I am guessing he doesn't expect linking from outside. The blog post before this one starts: "In this blog post I’m going to talk about our .NET 8.0 GC feature called DATAS (Dynamic Adaptation To Application Sizes)."


Because everyone knows at least the formulas for quartz, of course

Basic rule in technical writing: For obscure terminology, always define and explain that (e.g., maybe with a reference) before using it.
