Memory Management

Postby noshius » Sun Jul 19, 2009 5:21 pm

I'm just looking into this language, and am wondering what type of garbage collection it does. Does it run a GC daemon in the background like java, or does it use a reference counting scheme?

GC daemon in the background via Microsoft .NET or Novell Mono which Cobra runs on top of. Also, I believe both those VMs tend to use less memory than Java although at least Mono runs slower than Java (but still much faster than Python or Ruby).

There is a port to the JVM underway.
