GC question

Of course I can have leaks in a GC environment, but having 
non-deterministic leaks is another thing, and I'd rather make 
sure to delete my references to let GC do its thing than to pray 
and hope some random number on my stack won't be in the range of 
my heap.

I don't agree that the point is just preventing use-after-free, 
which can be guaranteed statically even in a non-GC language (see 
e.g. Rust).
