Yes, also they say that performance is not important so it's kind of weird argument - but it's just 64kB of RAM to juggle, GC is not a good idea, no?

- rwmj 10y agoFunnily enough I'm thinking about this because I'm currently writing a garbage collected ML-/LISP-ish mini-operating system for the BBC Micro:bit. It has only 16K of RAM, which is quite a challenge for GC. Given a naive implementation, just my minor heap would occupy far more than available RAM. But it's a good way to focus the mind on the problems, and (if I pull it off) much more fun than having to use manual memory allocation.
