The Optional Collection of Garbage

Is all GC shit, or is it just forced GC? What if you can turn the GC off?

GC is cool if you can still free objects manually and re-use the freed memory immediately (without waiting for a whole cycle to complete).

Why manage memory at all? Why not just reboot the machine when it runs out of memory?

16kB
That's a lot. I often have to do with 1-2 kB.

That's nothing. In the source code I'm working on, there's ONE global float variable that is reused throughout the entire code whenever you want to calculate a temporary floating point value.

Sounds thread-safe.

considering that usage, it prolly doesn't even have an OS
much less multithreading ability :|

unless it's some super hero retard trying to save 4 bytes
or something

Actually that is not very thread-safe at all.

you're not type-safe when the type is a Humor object
