Introduction
============
This document describes how the multi-paradigm memory management strategies work.
How to tune the garbage collectors for your needs, like (soft) `realtime systems`:idx:,
and how the memory management strategies that are not garbage collectors work.
A memory-management algorithm optimal for every use-case cannot exist.
Nim provides multiple paradigms for needs ranging from large multi-threaded
applications, to games, hard-realtime systems and small microcontrollers.
This document describes how the management strategies work;
How to tune the garbage collectors for your needs, like (soft) `realtime systems`:idx:,
and how the memory management strategies other than garbage collectors work.
.. note:: the default GC is incremental, thread-local and not "stop-the-world"
