Will it be possible to have associative arrays without garbage collection ?
You can write an AA container. A RefCounted AA implementation might allow unsafe escaping though.
What about dynamic strings and dynamic arrays, don't they need GC ?
Same here array slices require a GC to be safe, but one could implement them like std::vector.
While built-in arrays and AAs are nice to have it's trivial to replace them with other containers, no need for GC.
I never even needed dynamic memory allocation on a microcontroller.
