You can use a GC with C++ and you can compile Java to native
code ahead of time.
The distinctions aren't really that sharp, it just depends on
how you use it.
After I posted I wanted to edit it to add "disregarding JIT in
conjunction with a VM like JVM or .NET". Have there been any
C++ compilers that used a garbage collector?
What I was getting at was, if someone says "I've got a systems
level project I want to play around with, however GC is not a
deal breaker for me. ", it seems like they are making an
implied reference to D as I assume "systems level" means
"compile to object code and link with linker to executable".
Search this forum or HN for Paulo and Oberon, you'll find plenty
of posts like this, where he lists all of them: :)
