if u see problem in GC u can make
   RC-string,
   RC-array,
   RC-hashtable and
   RC-ptr
that will close 80% ur and newbies (as u think) needs.

string_impl {
    char* ptr; // -4 is RC
    int start, len;
};
u can use it as span too.
GC will left for lambdas only.

2..4 weeks job that will close 12+years talks.
