The cluster centers on debates comparing garbage collection (GC) in languages like Go with non-GC alternatives like Rust, emphasizing Rust's memory safety without GC pauses and trade-offs in performance and complexity.

Unlikely, as those problems are coming because of Garbage Collection which is a core part of language. C++/Rust don't have GC, so they don't have those problems
What's wrong with comparing a GC language with non-GC language?
Why Go, it has GC, too. I'd look at Rust.
GC is not the only way though, see Rust and Swift, both very safe languages.
You seem to have forgotten that garbage collected languages exist, and are much preferable to Rust in many circumstances.
that is interesting, I wonder if its easier to just write idiomatic code in language that does not have gc like rust or c++
Only when disregarding that many languages with GC capabilities, also offer value types and features for manual memory management.
GC is the job of the language, Rust doesn't need it
A little late, but why not Rust? Not the right libraries? I would think no gc would be one of the biggest factors
What would garbage collection buy you in a language like Rust?
