Isn't more explicit control of memory allocation useful precisely in the places where the default behavior would murder you? I don't see the incompatibility. Many python and java programs have portions that are native code for performance reasons (though that's not necessarily just about GC). What's relatively rare is a program where the whole thing is absolutely performance critical rather than just some parts.
