Pony has some references how they came to it before Rust. Easily doable with escape analysis. Just that pony added a proper GC protocol for it's threaded actors and proper concurrency safety by avoiding blocking IO. More important is tracking the owner, which perl6 used.

Could you elaborate on what Perl6 does? I thought it was just regular old GC.

Interesting, thx for the response. Pony is on my list of languages to do a deeper dive on at some point in the future. It has some interesting ideas I thought when I last glanced at it.
