I really wish you would focus on people using the standard 
runtime and not the single odd one working around a issues using 
custom implementations.

Yes, you can avoid using fork-unfriendly resources in some cases, 
hire people that makes it possible to use a fork() GC, and write 
your programs so that you only write to a small set of pages 
during collection (goodbye refcounting).

You can also add lots of memory and an expensive high bandwidth 
Xeon with 4x higher memory throughput.

Does not help people wanting to write iOS applications or games 
that run on cheap home devices.

It's like saying you can do anything in C. Yes, you can. You can 
do anything in C, C++, Rust, Go, Ada, Modula-3, Java and most 
other languages if you invest enough resources and limit your 
program logic.

People created great games in BASIC on C64s.
