Re: [1] - correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I remember, Rust originally did have GC and relied on it for safety, but as development went on, they added more static checks and eventually, very late into pre-alpha phase, realized they don't actually depend on GC anymore and can cut it out? As in, Rust wasn't part of the non-GC safety research at all, it just happened organically?
