That's a memory layout issue. What does a GC have to do with that? .NET and Go already allow good memory layout control, and Java will, too, once it gets value types. Conversely, one could create a manually-managed language that doesn't support object/array embedding, either. Memory layout control and GCs are completely orthogonal issues.
