I’m still not sure if GC is the police (i.e. returning the money/memory at an arbitrary undefined point in the future) or me trying to take it back.
The topic at hand is pretty straightforward and easy to understand, not sure what’s the point of trying to explain it using significantly more complex concepts besides making it more confusing and harder to understand for no reason..
(I mean I find it hard to believe that any person who understands how GC works would find the analogy in anyway useful).
> Not always easy to find one that fits perfectly but usually it just needs a bit of a tweak.
On a very superficial level sure. But then that mechanism starts coming apart at the seems if you start talking about the details.
