Okay I could see that - like implementing linked lists would be easier yeah?

I just feel like not having GC is sort of a deliberate, core design choice for the language. Having strict ownership rules and being forced to think about references feels like a feature not a bug you know? Adding GC feels analogous to the "++" in C++ to me.

Not that I have anything against the efforts people are putting into it though - I'm genuinely curious about what it lets me do better/faster within rust.
