I think these days it's more often called Open Firmware, but
it doesn't have a GC. Postscript does and L* did and they
share that delightful two stack (operand/execution) abstraction.
Possibly the most elegant web client/server code I've read and used is
CL-HTTP in pure unrelenting Common Lisp. Reading it requires a
graduate level comfort with common lisp and it uses most everything in
the 1000 page book, but it doesn't use the GC.
Personally I find even the idea of adding pfree to the pool
abstraction distasteful.
