> GC garbage collection in a different "managed" language. The tradeoff is higher RAM footprint, extra cpu and GC pauses for tracing scanners
It would hardly mean a problem for most programs, including OS kernels, especially that kernels are themselves GCs for resources like processes, file handlers, etc.
Also, GC pauses are overblown, most of the tasks can be done in parallel.
