Guilty as charge here!

What I like most about GC is the efficiency! With scanning and a 
global owner, you don't need to keep ownership information 
anywhere. Which leads to less copying (std::string leads malloc 
for every string copy, GC avoids that), slices being two machine 
words instead of 3, etc.
