Systems programming languages are languages where you can have any number of garbage collectors at a time.
💯 . We don't want a runtime we're forced into, but if anyone wants/needs a GC for something, they should absolutely able to have it as a resource they manage.
Always excited to see more work around implementing GCs in Rust. Super interesting read

Not a way I ever thought to look at it... but I see the argument. I wonder if we'll ever see a world where 'these threads have GCs and those threads have end-of-life destructors' just becomes a normal part of the systems programming paradigm, and what cost that imposes on reasoning about system behavior.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this can be easily emulated using crates like bumpalo [1] no?
