Yes you can and plenty of them do.
Have a look at D, Active Oberon, Modula-3, C#, F#, VB (6 and .NET), many BASIC dialects, Eiffel, Haskell (now with experimental lifetimes), Swift (RC is a GC algorithm), C++/CLI, C++/CX, Unreal C++, Common Lisp, among many others.
The big problem is a big lack of quality when teaching CS subjects, so many learn GC and think all GC languages are like JavaScript.
