I agree. Although, I'm not against someone adding a .NET target (which
has to be garbage collected), or doing some cool things (like, apps,
libraries, frameworks, etc.) with the JVM compiler (which uses a garbage
collector). But people don't seem to be interested in that.
For the native targets, I think garbage collection is a bad idea.
That being said, I think some garbage collectors that can be used with C
and C++ can also be used with Free Pascal, or at least, support for them
should be easy to implement for the few people who want to use them.
