Virtually zero? I have to go out of my way to remind HN it exists while everyone is 300+ comments deep into reinventing the wheel on a ~quarterly basis.

Right buffer is a relative obvious and simple idea. For some reason the Java-OOP crowd keeps thinking that LMAX deserves a nobel price for being neither first nor last to use it.

> have to go out of my way

Yeah, that's exactly the annoying part. Can't mention ring buffer ever without someone bring up LMAX. "But do you know, that some Java developers somewhere once wrote something that didn't completely ruin the hardware performance?! It's stunning and amazing."
