I did not want to fill up an entire article about the garbage collector problem, but rather just wanted to use it as a brief example to illustrate the thinking around trade-offs when it comes to features like it. It might make sense to write a separate article talking about why Hare takes a conservative approach to language design, but this was not the article for that topic.

This is not true.
