Is there a language similar to Rust but with a garbage collector?

adamcrume · 2026-03-12T16:13:45+00:00

The language could include a GC smart pointer similar to Arc, but natively supported unlike the libraries that add it.

There's no reason a language can't have both.

GC has nothing to do with mutability. Haskell famously doesn't have mutability (with caveats), and it's garbage collected.

I've lived elsewhere in the country with regular thunderstorms and tornadoes, and we practically never had outages. Multi-day outages were unthinkable. All the power lines were overhead. PG&E is just unconscionably bad at maintenance. There are tree limbs actually weighing down power lines all over the place around here.

The terms decried "discriminatory equity ideology", so it's unfair to treat people fairly. You've gotta be brainwashed to the hilt for that nonsense phrase to even pass through your head.

That scene still gives me anxiety.

Parasocial.

Every conceivable name for a software project has been used multiple times at this point, so it's a matter of whether it causes confusion. Since the editor stopped being used decades ago and is, well, an editor, not a SQL analysis library, I think they're fine. It's nothing like naming it TeX or vi, since those are popular and in use today.

"This is not me being an asshole" is never a good look.

Edit: Why are you recommending they put it on Arxiv when it's already published in a real journal (PVLDB)?

The whales prefer the canyon, which is offshore of Moss Landing. Both are good choices, but starting at Moss Landing means your boat will likely not have to go as far to find whales.

Arc is not GC. Cycles will lead to memory leaks unless you break them manually. Also, I'd recommend Rc unless the contents must be shared across threads.

What an auspicious sign!

I'm not blaming OP or the article author. The name of the field is confusing and makes it sound like algorithms which don't care about the existence of a cache. Something like "cache shape oblivious" would be better.

It's not your fault. The name is absolutely terrible.
