Thanks for correcting me, Patrick. I certainly didn't mean to be unfair (especially as I replied to a comment I felt wasn't being completely fair itself, intentionally or not), and I should have been more precise about the use cases.

I agree about the GC considerations. I meant my points to mainly apply to the use cases where safety such as that offered by Boehm is eschewed in order to achieve other powers at its expense, which I feel is brought up a lot by Nim proponents as strengths during these discussions.
