I want a world without garbage collection. I don't think we can achieve a world without garbage collection while there are codebases based around aliased pointers (which makes lifetime reasoning difficult, and causes enough use-after-frees to make the Linux desktop apps I use unstable, unless you use refcounting) and circular references (which is difficult to refcount). Maybe I'll wait for Rust programmers to rewrite software around tree-based ownership (restrictive but immune to these problems) and ECS/arena indexes (can use-after-free but won't segfault). In the time being, while "spiderweb object graphs" are commonplace, perhaps Nim's memory management (https://nim-lang.org/docs/gc.html https://nim-lang.org/docs/gc.html) can give us "non-GC by default, refcounting or GC when necessary". I want it to succeed. I hope it does.
