Baby's First Garbage Collector

Given that calls to malloc aren't permitted in big swaths of the code in my current (non-embedded) job, I think it's safe to say that there are still places where GC is not appropriate.

I never claimed otherwise, I enjoy this sort of coding but increasingly GC languages seem to be the pragmatic choice and that only makes usage like yours more precious and interesting.

As that is what I was asking about I'd love for you to elaborate. :)

Sorry for the confusion, I guess I could have worded my post better.

Heh, fair enough. My day job is in HFT.
