And here is the actual motivation behind the GC-hater-guy: he hates anything that isn't C or very C-like. Hating on GC is acceptable for him because it tends to slightly make performance less predictable and most (high-level) languages have it. Some less usual languages which are not exactly high-level, but unusual enough to not match in his box are discarded for 'weird' because the GC excuse can no longer work for them.
