I've already hinted at something like this a few months ago, after
getting the very same idea from guile. The big problem is that Python
is designed to be embedded easily. Don't know about Ruby, but Guile
is a pain to embed especially because of this reason.

This is the same reason Python (unlike Ruby and Guile) doesn't have
"traditional" GC.
