Who needs to garbage collect? Just leak memory until the system dies! That strategy seems to be good enough for claude code, anyway.

If it’s good enough for missile guidance systems, it’s good enough for me.

I don't have real context here, but I can imagine that a platform where the hardware costs millions of dollars, will be booted up in "Production" exactly once, and is guaranteed to be physically destroyed before it hits 1 day of uptime, just "Give it 128GB of RAM and YOLO (literally)" is great advice!

Note: 128GB of DRAM may add another million dollars to the build cost by 2027 at the current derivative of the $/GB curve
