It's easy to make a dynamic array without using the GC. Did you
mean "implementation which avoids memory management"?
I'm not considering supposed performance benefits/penalties
because these need to be profiled.
Considering the many downsides why would I ever want to choose
a static over a dynamic array ?
Sometimes the amount of elements is known at compile time so you
don't need to waste CPU cycles for memory allocation/freeing.
This can be really important when you work on a
performance-critical code.
