@bjzaba_ ...But not for games :P Interesting. I'd say it's as low level as C++.

Mandatory GC is a show-stopper in terms of high performance real-time applications.

@bjzaba_

haha, some people might kill you where you stand for stating this

@bjzaba_ (though, granted, for most people it just makes them pull their hair)

But there is GC if you want it. You just have to use the '@' sigil on a type.

@bjzaba_

then how do you free mem ? You just unref it ? How that different from GC behavior ?

I'm not too up with the specifics, but I believe that's worked out at compile time. dl.rust-lang.org/doc/tutorial.h

And I'm still a naive little munchkin too. So take my words with a grain of salt. :)
