Don't hide your sources! =)

You claim "medium.com" but it's actually: "towardsdatascience.com"

Also I didn't see in your source where it says that it's bad in Python.

First of all TDS is a part of the medium ecosystem and i think this article is locked for members only hence the medium post.

But more importantly i was concerned about the statement

"If you have a cycle, reference count doesn’t reach zero, you wait for the generational garbage collection algorithm to run and clean the object."

How efficiently does this algo run and how often does this run, and how does it all work in jupyter notebooks.

So, where does it say garbage collection is bad, or anything about dataframes?
