    Yeah, it might be better, I don’t actually know. It’s not as novel as OP maybe thinks it is, though.

      That’s fair; Python, Swift, and most Lisps all use or have previously used reference-counting. But the quoted sentence isn’t wrong, since it said no “garbage collection pauses” rather than “garbage collection.”
