You can opt-in to a Gc with Rust via Rc<> and Arc<>: https://words.steveklabnik.com/borrow-checking-escape-analysis-and-the-generational-hypothesis https://words.steveklabnik.com/borrow-checking-escape-analys... Don't get me wrong, I like a language with a Gc by default, my favourite language is OCaml, but I can't claim it to be a drop-in replacement for C projects. Go, Rust (or D) stand a better chance at that.
