Another point worths mentioning is the recurring, bogus argument about GC, non-determinism and comparison with malloc. If you think malloc is any more deterministic than gc, you are kidding yourself: think about what happens when malloc gives you a block that contains pages which will be pulled from disk when you access them. When you want to program something which has low, guaranteed latency, you locks your pages in memory, and you never calls malloc in that thread.
