      @Steve_Lockstep @fare @matthew_d_green @cr1901 C doesn't prevent a programmer from writing reliable code. It just doesn't assist much.

      @Steve_Lockstep @fare @matthew_d_green @cr1901 In that regard C is usually better than assembly, but worse than type-safe languages.

      .@brouhaha There are known hard real-time garbage collectors. Is there any known hard real-time implementation of reference-counting?

          @fare Yes. Simplest method is to limit recursion in freeing when count drops to zero, enqueuing any excess to be processed later.

          .@brouhaha At which point it's no simpler and no faster than real-time GC, just less expressive. Unless of course you do it at compile-time.

          @fare @brouhaha probably much easier to do than create an portable embedded GC-runtime. Then again, I suppose f*** impls which don't do that
