There's already a global: import gc gc.disable() So I imagine putting more in there to remove objects from the tracking.

  That can go a long way, so long as you remember to manually GC the handful of things you do care about.

    And then we're back to manual memory management. At least the objects get instantiated automatically, and you don't need to malloc() them into existence yourself; I guess that's still something.

    Is there a good way to add __del__() methods or to wrap Context Manager __enter__()/__exit__() methods around objects that never needed them because of the gc? Hadn't seen this: import gc gc.disable() Cython has __dealloc__() instead of __del__()?

      Also, there's a recent proposal to add explicit resource management to JS: "JavaScript's New Superpower: Explicit Resource Management" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44012227 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44012227
