One day, Rust needs a GC. Reference counting is a just crappy GC. Modern GC can perform better than this so Rust is actually hurting its own performance by not having one.
A good GC would make heavily concurrent apps much easier to build with Rust. And would have better performance than the typical Arc Mutex objects passed around right now
