@witchgirls@woof.tech Cool idea!
Swift is sorta kinda like this already; it just doesn't have a GC though, it uses reference counting instead.
Objective-C actually had some kind of memory pool concept [NSAutoreleasePool!] Yeah that was it! and yeah. I miss ObjC.

@IceWolf@masto.brightfur.net I've thought of refcounting too but AFAIK unless you do eldritch PhD stuff it makes everything slower. Then again it may be easier to implement than a GC which would make the language existing more plausible... hmm
