On: Removing garbage collection from the Rust language

[eru]

On top of that, malloc (and friends) don't make any useful worst-case runtime guarantees either.

[hga → eru]

That's very important to remember if your heap has a messy enough history.

The right language + a good GC can give you much better bounded worse case guarantees, with Azul's as the best I know of for an imperative language (the more functional, the easier it is to do a variety of things).
