Since the mid-70's there are system programming languages with GC.

Namely Algol 68(IFIP), Mesa/Cedar (Xerox), Modula-3 (Olivetti), Oberon 
(ETHZ) and a few others.

They just happened to be married to OSes that weren't as successful as 
UNIX jumping out of the research labs into the industry.

It is about time systems programming catches up with the 70's 
innovations outside of the PDP-11 world.
