Here is another very informative article, outling the 'tradeoff' 
between program 'throughput' and 'latency'.

The really important part of their conclusion, however, is that 
there is no such thing as a 'one size fits all' GC implementation:

.. " It is important to understand the underlying GC algorithm in 
order to decide whether it is appropriate for your use-case".

 From this, I can only conclude that integrating GC too much into 
the core of the language & library can be problematic for many 
use cases, and not so for many others.
