Regnat	niksnut Looking at the GC again, is it correct that `Expr`s are generally leaking?	17:09:09
niksnut	It's by design	17:09:51
niksnut	There is basically no point in GC'ing ASTs	17:11:08
niksnut	Since they generally exist for the duration of the program	17:11:30
Regnat	Oh, do they? I kind-of assumed that once a thunk is evaluated, the underlying AST isn’t used anymore (and is unreachable anyways)	17:29:18
