You can use a GC with C++ and you can compile Java to native
code ahead of time.
The distinctions aren't really that sharp, it just depends on
how you use it.
After I posted I wanted to edit it to add "disregarding JIT in
conjunction with a VM like JVM or .NET". Have there been any C++
compilers that used a garbage collector?
What I was getting at was, if someone says "I've got a systems
level project I want to play around with, however GC is not a
deal breaker for me. ", it seems like they are making an implied
reference to D as I assume "systems level" means "compile to
object code and link with linker to executable".
