You'll pay a tax on pointer write, not on allocations ! It won't
be negligible !
They're still non-deterministic though. And unless (even if?)
they're
precise, they might leak.
Not if they are precise. But this is another topic.
What does ObjC do? It seems to work okay on embedded hardware
(although not
particularly memory-constrained hardware).
Didn't ObjC recently reject GC in favour of refcounting?
ObjC is an horrible three headed monster in that regard, and I
don't think this is the way to go.
