Languages Without Garbage Collection
Continuing the discussion from Thinking about learning Crystal, let’s discuss - I was wondering which languages don’t GC - maybe we can compile a list and discuss some of them

Well the basic common systems languages (I.E. languages for any purpose)
Assembly
C
C++
D
Fortran
Rust
Even things like Forth don’t either, lol.
There are a ton of non-GC languages though, but ‘most’ are of course specialized, like Brainf**k.

Oh right, forgot about Zig, it’s GC-less too!

What about V ?
Most objects (~90-100%) are freed by V’s autofree engine: the compiler inserts necessary free calls automatically during compilation. Remaining small percentage of objects is freed via reference counting.
