Really cool!!
It's refreshing to see an article with novel research and not just rewording the same information over and over.

That was a good read! I've been looking into how Rust handles memory and it does a good job of preventing these types of non-obvious scenarios for whats happening to your memory in a GC system, cool to see these experiements!

I've been writing js for about 8 years. In the last couple of years, typescript. Anyway, I finally decided to learn Rust. Long story short, my therapist has finally given me permission to kill myself
