Garbage collector.

why do you use boehm garbage collector ?
doesn't vlang work with autofree engine ?
will vlang continue to use boehm gc ?

Autofree largely works at this point, but there's something like a 10% remainder/edgecase issue at this point that's requiring a significant amount of additional effort to resolve. The short answer is that yes, autofree will work fully at some point, but for now the GC implementation is surprisingly very effective and performant - far more so than anyone had initially expected and so it's more than satisfactory for the time being to facilitate focus on the more important elements of the language that are necessary for wider adoption.
