Funny about that, I don

Basically there's a chance of it leaking memory by mistaking a data word
for a pointer. This is unlikely to happen by accident and usually
inconsequential if it does happen, but maybe there could be malicious
data that makes it

That's a good way to put it. It's nice to hear about Instagram but so

That depends on the details of the GC implementation, but often
you end up swapping one form of boilerplate (maintaining ref
counts) for another (such as makin
