Take your brownies, I guess, that wasn't my point.

As if me mis-remembering Common Lisp capabilities, invalidates the rest regarding "modern" GC languages.

Here is an array of structs in Oberon, 1987,

    TYPE
      Point = RECORD
        x, y : INTEGER
      END;

      Triagle = RECORD
        v1, v2, v3: Point
      END;

      Data = ARRAY 100 OF Triagle; (* static sized *)

      DynData  = ARRAY OF Triagle; (* dynamically sized *)

    VAR
       dynData : DynData; (* Allocated via NEW(dynData, elems)*)

No, it doesn't invalidate the rest of your comment. It just made it harder to figure out what point you were making in your original post (i.e. what the this referred to).

There's a little bit of irony here in how you react to people picking at details in your own posts, when your original post is precisely the same kind of pedantry!
