Garbage collection is a function of the particular runtime, no? Which probably isn't anything to do with the language... right? I'm asking sincerely, these aren't loaded questions.
- gingerrr 12y agowhile the particular effectiveness of a runtime's GC is determined by the VM, JS the language doesn't provide operators or types to represent manual memory management - so it's a pretty core feature of the language that whatever VM it runs on will use garbage collection (or at the very least transparent automatic memory management) to reclaim memory.
