> I'm actually hoping to find a way to blend Nick's approach seamlessly with reference counting (preferably without risking panics or deadlocks) to get the best of both worlds, so that we can consider it for Mojo. I consider that the holy grail of memory safety, and some recent developments give me some hope for that!
Ante's approach manages to blend a similar scheme for safe, shared mutability with Rc. There are some examples on the most recent blog post on its website of it. IMO combined with its shared types it emulates high-level GC'd code very well.
