Kindof unrelated to the article, but I was recently wondering if it would be possible to detect and deny pointer cycles in a language in an efficient way, so that you could then use simple reference counting instead of full-blown garbage collection.

It probably wouldn't be usable for a general-purpose programming language, but for a special-purpose scripting language I could see it making the language implementation easier.

Similarly to the bubblewrap comment, I'd also like to know how it compares to nsjail.

I think nsjail uses mount namespaces (CLONE_NEWNS) instead of landlock for filesystem sandboxing, but what would the practical differences be?
