Sorry to have to disagree with you... I routinely use a language called Caml
that performs full blown GC *all* the time. It runs at speeds that rival
C/C++, and often surpasses C on large vectorized array calculations.
Modeling programs written in it certainly run 2 to 5 times faster than IDL
on especially large array models, and orders of magnitude faster for
non-numeric calculations. GC is not the pig that it once was. Much has been
learned during the past 20 years, but RSI has chosen to ignore most of these
advances...
