> Nitpick: Rust comes with GC in the std lib: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch15-04-rc.html https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch15-04-rc.html I'd say Mathnerd314's comment is more correct than your nitpick. Reference counting is arguably a form of GC, but I think most people don't call it GC, and there's a reason the JVM and Go have much more sophisticated GCs. For starters, weak references are often insufficient as a mechanism to handle cycles. And really what Mathnerd314 was getting at is that Rust programs typically don't require a GC where Go ones always do. Pointing to a Rust GC library (and there are some) doesn't change that either; it misses the point.
