Great. What about Rust like static memory safety analysis. (But
transparent to the user.)

Hi,
I am wondering if there is interest in the community to
introduce alternatives to GC. E.g. reference counting and a
static analysis system which traces allocation / deallocation
points which can be used to insert the needed operations
transparent to the user.

There is an effort already under way to make the GC optional
and to introduce reference counting. Search the newsgroup there
are a few threads about it.
