Would there be any value in a GC'd language where you had the option to explicitly call do_gc_now()? Is this functionality already out there and just not popular? I haven't spent a ton of time in these languages, so forgive the naivety. Again, naively, this seems like it would be a good compromise between what GC offers but near-determinism when you want it.
I guess Rust and C++ also "pause the world", it's just predictable when it happens. It seems kind of arbitrary in some ways, like maybe I don't want the "world pause" at the end of this scope. There are ways around it obviously, but you start language-wrestling at that point.
