Rust had an optional GC once, they removed it. Nim is the answer to scrubs like me who thought Rust was interesting up until that point, since Nim is super fast and lets you allocate/deallocate directly (use of GC is optional) and has three different GC implementations to choose from (including a soft real time one).
- rcxdude 8y agodespite the name for the syntax, rust never really had a GC, just a slightly shorter syntax for reference-counted heap-allocated objects and a vague idea of 'probably it'll handle loops one day', until the language design solidified around an extremely minimal runtime and preferring standard library features over language features.
