Does make sense to have a language with manual memory management since it's possible to create stuff of low level with a specialized garbage collector? It's good to create drivers, but it's already C.
Oberon was quite experimental. The Azul C4 collector (the state of the art, as I understand it) is not open source, would be a tremendous amount of work to try to replicate, and still has overhead.
For Servo, we need to demonstrate competitive CPU-cycle-for-CPU-cycle performance against manually memory managed frameworks like Gecko and WebKit. Relying on global concurrent GC makes the project that much riskier.
