I found a use case for Epsilon. That's the Java garbage collector that literally doesn't do anything. It's meant for short lived programs that don't use a lot of memory.

It turns out that a Java CGI program (especially one compiled to native code with GraalVM) is the perfect use case. Why waste time setting up a collector and performing unnecessary GC when the program is just going to exit quickly?

I tried this GraalVM compile option with Zoe and it seems to work great. Pretty neat.
