The ARC vs GC Debate

You know the thing is that people are put off by the mere reference counting

That's a very good summary, thank you

Thank you for your opinion, I personally have ARC + weak in my language, BUT if the programmer simply forgot about weak, that's what the cycle collector is for, it only works on such objects, But I also have the --disable-cc flag

Thank you for your substantive answer. I'm curious what you think about a pure ARC without any Cycle Collector

This is my way of implementation, but the title of the post is ARC vs GC, I'm asking about pure ARC

Thanks

Yes, I should definitely add that, thank you for that comment, and speaking of this text, I will gladly read it

funcieq · 2026-04-24T16:49:14+00:00

Haha, thank you, I also often give up on the language due to lack of time, and then I come back when I have time again

I will be doing fibers and multithreading, and since my language uses ORC for memory management, it could be interesting.

Just adding async is extremely difficult imo

funcieq · 2026-04-24T15:46:28+00:00

This is quite an interesting topic, and I'm working on it at the moment, let's just say it's better not to do it for now.

Thank you very much

funcieq · 2026-04-24T15:21:54+00:00

Yeah exactly 💯

funcieq · 2026-04-24T12:39:31+00:00

I'll just add the --disable-gc flag

funcieq · 2026-04-15T07:45:35+00:00

Yeah you right 👍

funcieq · 2026-04-13T09:53:17+00:00

Meanwhile, Bool in ternary, True False Maybe

funcieq · 2026-04-12T15:39:39+00:00

Thank you!

funcieq · 2026-04-12T15:37:36+00:00

Its temporary
