I know the current GC leaves much room for improvement, but what's the hangup about the GC anyway? If -- and yes this is a very big if -- the GC has real-time guarantees, would that make it more palatable to C++ devs? Or is it just because they have trouble with the idea of having a GC in the first place? T -- Three out of two people have difficulties with fractions. -- Dirk Eddelbuettel
