That is GC implementation issue, not a language issue. If it

Efficient GC with compile time safety is a language issue.
Current Class allocation and deallocation patterns are making
fast collection unlikely IMHO.
Any serious GC can run concurrently (instead of stopping the
world). That mean any serious GC must be able to handle
allocations while collecting.
Not only handling these case is unlikely to make the GC any
slower, but in fact, this is required to make the GC faster.
