Fake tracking numbers are a common occurrence in scams now. Somehow the scammers are getting access to a database of real time legitimate tracking numbers, they wait until there’s a shipment in their database going to the same city as the buyer, and then use that tracking number to claim that they shipped the package. Maybe they’re paying a real merchant for access to their shipping database? Or are UPS tracking numbers short enough to brute force?
Yeah fair. But I think that any gc language for microcontrollers should have a couple features:
1) A compiler flag or similar optional static check that throws a warning if you have dynamic memory allocation. In scripting languages it can be easy to do accidentally
2) A way to block the gc from happening in a time critical section of code, like how you can disable interrupts
3) Some guarantee on the maximum time gc will take
