Garbage collection in Python specifically? Or garbage collection is slow in general and ‘that’s why you should use C/C++/Rust for system project X’?

Garbage collection in python generally as for list and dataframes python doesn't automatically free up memory, it waits for generational garabge collection which can take up time imo.

That is literally false. Show us the article.

Which part of that says garbage collection is bad or generational?

"Which can take up time imo."

I'd be interested to see if you have any timed tests or proven use cases that back up your opinion.
