So does Erlang, but it's not really a bug. Symbols (atoms, whatever) are guaranteed to be a unique identifier, so the fact that they're allocated and exist for the duration of execution isn't really surprising.

It's just something you need to be aware of.

not a bug, a known issue: interned strings aren't GC'd in python, erlang BEAM, many runtimes.
