While I have no insight to their plans, perhaps a non-GC toolchain could still be used for short-lived programs (such as command line tools)? Don't even need to free anything if it's short enough, the OS can deal with it when the process exits

Take a look at the `-gc` flag. The values have changed in the latest version (need to update the docs!) but it does provide an option to disable the GC entirely.
