no, we don't "merely use Boehm GC"
- kgeist 5y agoWhat else do you use besides it?
- amedvednikov 5y agoautofree (compile time frees) it's on the website and in the video I referenced here
- kgeist 5y agoBut you said it's unfinished and hidden behind a flag. And it's been like that for several years. I found this in the docs: >Autofree is still WIP. Until it stabilises and becomes the default, please compile your long running processes with -gc boehm, which will use the Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector
- amedvednikov 5y agogc is also behind the flag so why do you pick one over the other? the language is still at 0.2
- vlang1dot0 5y agoAre you arguing it's fairer to say V's default is to ignore managing memory at all?
- kgeist 5y ago>so why do you pick one over the other? Because the documentation recommends to use GC instead of auto-free which is "WIP".
