#Garbage Collection

Garbage Collection is the supposedly benevolent janitor that prowls through a program’s forgotten memory debris, claiming to clean up after you. It works silently by default, yet never flawlessly, announcing its presence by halting your code at the most inconvenient times. While architects boast of its transparency, it remains a nondeterministic black box powered by latency. Developers rejoice at being freed from manual memory chores, but must write their code under the constant fear of when the collector will strike.
