BeefLang will report leaks as they occur, not when the program shuts down. There's a tracing "GC" in debug mode for detecting unreachable memory in realtime. It's also used for reliably detecting use-after-free since memory is held when there are references and released when the last reference goes away -- again, a debug-only feature.

Thanks for the mention, Gene. Thanks for being an early adopter, and keep those bugs and feedback coming in!

As far as performance vs C - there's not a lot of features that incur dynamic dispatch: virtual method calls, dynamic casts (as/is keywords), and direct interface dispatch. When you use interfaces as generic constraints, those monomorph into static dispatches unless the implementing method itself is virtual.

For C-style code, however, the performance should be the same as the C equivalent in Clang. File a bug if it isn't!
