That also depends on GC, and the language, and the implementations of the GC. E.g. in Erlang GC is mostly negligible [1] (but you can put undue pressure on it, and on the underlying OS), there are realtime GCs for Java, etc. But yeah the cost of GC is never zero. [1] citation needed |

Nothing depends on no GC.
I'm not anti-GC. I earn most of my living using GC languages. But there comes a time when the cost of power and hardware outweigh the value of GC. When that time comes Rust is an excellent way to solve it. I am, however, very "anti" the "no such time exists" position. That has never been and will never be true.
