What BASIC were you using in the 70s that had garbage collection?

Thanks! That's really interesting. There's a lot of material out there about BASIC for early microcomputers but most of what I've read about minis has been more focused on languages that were considered interesting to "hackers" (i.e. Lisp and C).
