> If you make a language GC by default with opt-in ownership, what does your standard library look like?
I could see the opposite working out very well. Having a GC type you can box other types in.

That is really cool. Would "Use types as data primitives" be a good way to describe Tyrade?
Re:Pebble: A RocksDB Inspired Key-Value Store Written in Go

I wonder the same thing. I have not programed a DB but..
I would think the worst thing to program in a gc'd language would be the cache. So, if you write that layer of the database separately in a non-gc'd you would avoid most of the headache.
EDIT: I read the parent comment as why program a db in a gc language. I think the new wave 1st gen db's are doing alot of novel things. Minus the cache I imagine the velocity improvements form the 'simpler' language makes sense. Key value stores are become well trod ground however.
