No garbage collection ??

I think what you mean is that RB uses a garbage collector that utilises the
reference counting method.

NO garbage collection
When a reference count = 0 the object is deleted immediately

Well, whatever deleted the object would seem to be collecting my (code) garbage, I would say :) And quite frankly, I don't really give a sh*t what it's called as long as it works!

Java has a garbage collector
RB does not
