Your article seems to speak of people actually using the GC so
they can speed up development. My game, written in JavaScript, a
garbage-collected language, uses pooling. Pooling is the
equivalent to manual deallocation. Without pooling the freezes
are unbearable. From the performance envelope of my game, a GC
gives the strength of an emergency cleanup system and leak
detector.
The idea is to emphasize the GC can be completely disabled.
