> Would you rather have a gc or unsafe?

Like in case where you can't use Rust? (ie.: existing codebase). Sure that is what Fil-C is good for. Point is that Fil-C does not solve the problem Rust does. It is more like band-aid. (Maybe my comment was misunderstood because of typo: sell/well)

Also I think there is huge difference between GC and fact that some people use .clone() somewhere.
