You can argue over implementation details, it's what programmers do best, but at least it's data and you haven't presented any to support your claims. Shouldn't it be relatively simple to implement malloc/free as a wrapper around a garbage collector and compare like with like? Maybe we'd need some more annotations to cover copying, referencing, etc. For that matter if GC was faster I'm sure we'd have seen this in a number of large C/C++/rust programs already
