Ok thanks. It was not the first decision then, just one of the early main design decisions. I edited the text to reflect that.

It was not an early main decision. Rust has been actively developed for a full decade now, GC was removed from stdlib 2 years ago.
The decision was only done at the point when the devs were confident that the ownership/borrowing system could manage all the normal workloads done by GC, and that GC could now be implemented well into the language as a library.
