C has alloc and free. Red is supposed to be garbage collected, so there's no free.



How come Red doesn’t have a GC then? If Red doesn’t have free, does it just leak memory?


GC will come. It just hasn't been needed yet for Red to continue its own development. If you write in Red/System, the C level dialect, you have `free`.


It's like there's an echo in here.
