Garbage collection has recently been elevated from "future consideration" to "current consideration". Actually, much has long been considered and even implemented, though some crucial components still need work. We very much hope to have it working soon. In general, there are ways to structure a program such that it gets around the need for gc, but that's not the way it should be.
Please, please, please use one of the sensible lisp-like garbage collection schemes rather than pure reference counting. B> -- Packrat (BSc/BE;COSO;Wombat Implementor) Nihil illegitemi carbovndvm
