... responding to David's comments on the speed of garbage
collection and the likelihood of it being implemented in IDL.
...

Hi David,

I don't believe modern garbage collectors need be slow.
It's harder to make garbage collectors that work well
in real time programming, but I don't see that as an
big issue with IDL. Modern versions of Java are quite speedy
despite being garbage collected. Even in earlier
versions speed problems were more due to slowness
in allocating objects, not in cleaning them up. Reallocating
garbage collectors might even speed up a program since they
can deal with memory fragmentation. However
I daresay your prognostication on the odds of it being
added to IDL are correct.

Regards,
Tom McGlynn
