I'm not nearly so concerned with elegance as I am with being able to manage memory simply. the GC and "needed" detection lend themselves, how shall I say, to complexity.

GC is often better at the job then humans. you can manage memory in JS yourself though by not crating new objects and using pre alloc buffers instead.
