** [tickets:#8314] @memoize on methods should still allow garbage collection**
**Status:** in-progress

Our `@memoize` works pretty similarly to `@lru_cache` and doesn't do what you
might expect on a method (as opposed to a simple function). It creates a
global class-level cache with `self` as one of the args and thus the `self`
object is referenced forever and cannot be garbage collected.
