For someone not really familiar with javascript could someone explain how sensitive information is removed from memory when no longer needed? Does the runtime expose semantics to ensure memory is zeroed?

Also given javascript is garbage collected are there concerns about timing attacks? Or can you prevent the GC from running in critical sections like Go (I assume Java offers this too)?
