This pops up again from time to time, I think what people should take away from this is that garbage collection is not just what you see in Java and other high level languages.
There are a lot of strategies to apply garbage collection and they are often used in low level systems too like per-frame temporary arenas in games or in short lived programs that just allocate and never free.
