I fail to see what that has to do with anything, unless you’re asserting that current rust is GC’d on the back of arc existing.

- pjmlp 3y agoIt has to do everything with the wording on your comment that kind of makes the usual lay man distinction between GC and refcounting, nothing to do with Arc, as using it is manual work anyway.
- Zambyte 3y agoThe point of a garbage connector is to simulate infinite memory[0], which is the point of Arc. So current Rust has GC :) [0] https://octodon.social/@cwebber/110815313802832972 https://octodon.social/@cwebber/110815313802832972
- bmacho 3y agoRust as a language is not GC'd, but has a refcounted (that is, GC'd) pointer type if you want/need it.
