Audio is literally a major domain where GC is a big no-go... (even a GC running in another GUI thread can be an issue if it's a stop-the-world operation)

You won't find a single audio backend in a GC language.

GC is obviated by Rust anyway (it's native RAII pattern involves "ownership" which allows "borrowing", things are immutable by default...) and there are ARC and Box implementations (check out Box particularly)

You could always slap something like Boehm on, lol...

These things need to be solved by the Rust community, regardless, so it's full-steam ahead, and GC is not something tenable when there are ways to control the timing of resource freeing that won't glitch audio playback, which GC would do.

GC is for when you have no idea about the types and lifetimes of the objects you create.... when you know these things, why wouldn't you setup proper shrink-wrapped alloc/de-alloc in a time-coordinated fashion?

In a dynamic UI you don’t know these lifetimes because they are up to the user.

Well, in the sense of "lifetimes" that I mean in terms of ownership, scope, and destruction, yes we do know the lifetime (removing a plugin-instance and de-allocation in an orderly fashion is part of a plugins API, for example)
