In a scripting language, is there an advantage to no garbage collection? (I honestly don't know)

Someone else also pointed out to me, when I made a similar suggestion, that ability to partially fail but keep going is desirable in a web context. I don't know, maybe there's some way to make Rust do that more automatically than C. Python seems the be the standard for general-purpose scripting, which is why I mentioned it.
