Wannabe devs: "Garbage collectors are too slow, I need total control of memory."

Also wannabe devs: writing a todo app with 27 dependencies that eat RAM for breakfast.

@fribbledom I learned Rust so that I could use a language that didn't need a garbage collector. I traded garbage collection for garbage syntax.
@thatbrickster @fribbledom

I really wish there was a good systems programming language with a garbage collector that became popular and widely used in place of C.

D has a GC and may be a good systems language... I've not looked closely enough at the language to decide whether I like it. But in any case it's still obscure and never got much popularity.

@taylan @fribbledom @thatbrickster so, there may be a timeline where a major operating system has random stutters whenever the GC its kernel was programmed with decides to clean up? I'm happy it's not this one.
