Fair. My push was less on just not leaking memory entirely, and more that it can scale faster. Both using a GC and relying on teardown are essentially punting the problem from the specific request handling code onto something else. It was not uncommon to see GC based systems fall behind under load. Specifically because their task was more work than tearing down a process.
