> It just doesn't make sense to duplicate the garbage collection This is reinventing the wheel so that you have the ability to ensure the wheels you are using are actually round. While there are potential performance benefits in using a provided-system, something like Garbage Collection is a pillar upon which most of the program rests. I wouldn't trust the behaviour of all of the existing implementations to seamlessly work the same way reliably. If you discover a flaw in the system, being able to fix it can allow you to continue working. That is much better than filing a bug-report and waiting for the development cycle to churn out a released fix.
