No garbage collection ??
I think what you mean is that RB uses a garbage collector that
utilises the
reference counting method.
NO garbage collection
When a reference count = 0 the object is deleted immediately
Well, whatever deleted the object would seem to be collecting my
(code) garbage, I would say :) And quite frankly, I don't really
give a sh*t what it's called as long as it works!
But one needs to know how it works to use it properly. Memory
management appears to be one area that defines the limits of
information hiding.
Sort of like a black hole, in other words... :)
