To be fair, the drop/dealloc "pause" is very different from what people usually mean when they say "garbage collection pause", i.e. stop-the-world (...or at least a slice of the world).

Yeah, it might be better, I don't actually know. It's not as novel as OP maybe thinks it is, though.

That's fair; Python, Swift, and most Lisps all use or have previously used reference-counting. But the quoted sentence isn't wrong, since it said no "garbage collection pauses" rather than "garbage collection."
