>Nim adds its own Nim-based GC library behind the scenes. In fact, it supports multiple GCs (which can be changed via the --gc flag).
I will be spending some time reading about this, since it's definitely the most disruptive aspect to Nim, considering that GC in a systems language is not a "solved problem" in general. Coming from C and C++ I'd most need to know exactly how the GC was working to be comfortable with the idea.
- dom96 11y agoThis Forum thread in particular should answer some questions: http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/1122 http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/1122 There are also many others: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=garbage+collector+gc+site:http://forum.nim-lang.org https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=garbage+collector+gc+site:... Also, feel free to ask questions about the GC in the Nim forum or on IRC. That way other Nim developers can chip in and offer better answers than I ever could :)
