Speedy CPUs with lots of cores are cheap enough that the time taken for garbage collection may very well be worth it. On the other hand, I do still love code golf and other speed/size/wonkiness competitions. It's a lot like the early demo scene whose sole effort was to show how much they could do with very limited resources.
