It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

What does ‘perform most task like C’ mean? – user3840170 Nov 23 '22 at 17:00

General use, not limited in capabilities. I’m not sure the best way to phrase that. In other words, if brevity limits capabilities pull back a little. – James Risner Nov 23 '22 at 17:56

The phrasing of the question is unclear – Seggan Nov 23 '22 at 23:12

@JamesRisner much better – Seggan Nov 24 '22 at 1:02

@JamesRisner I think its just the fact that this question is vauge – Seggan Dec 1 '22 at 16:00

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

I think this needs to be more objective. It's more like a poll, while a good question for SE's format would be more like "what are the advantages of..." – Redwolf Programs Nov 18 '22 at 16:05

I edited the question to make it more objective, and voted to reopen. – AAM111 Nov 25 '22 at 20:31

This does not seem to be a question. If it is, please rephrase it so it sounds like one – Ethan Nov 21 '22 at 17:42

It’s a question, it’s just that it’s a question that will likely result in opinions. Which are generally off-topic here. – James Risner Nov 23 '22 at 17:58

@JamesRisner Isn't every question here opinion-based? – Adám Nov 23 '22 at 18:37

@Adám there are not supposed to be, no. Read area51.stackexchange.com/faq the "What makes a good question?" section – James Risner Nov 23 '22 at 23:04

The problem with this kind of opinion-based question is that it's not asking for expert opinions - "what reading materials do you recommend?" can be answered by everyone who has any reading materials to recommend, whereas a question like "what are the downsides of lazy evaluation?" can only get a good answer from someone who has expertise on that subject. A good subjective question requires expertise to answer; a bad subjective question can be answered by anyone with a personal opinion, and hence the answers won't likely be useful to a lot of people. – kaya3 Dec 2 '22 at 13:45

This question does not relate to the topic of the proposal.

this has nothing to do with language design – warren Nov 21 '22 at 13:53

@warren disagree, this can feed back into the language design process - if a language's quirks make it hard to write a LSP server for example, one might choose between implementing a custom IDE or simplifying the language so that popular editors are better suited to it. – finnw Nov 23 '22 at 10:34

This could be improved by removing the reference to "guides". Additionally, I think there are really two questions in one here: What are the different GC algorithms, and how do runtimes work? – Nathan Merrill Nov 18 '22 at 21:22
