'object = null' instead 'delete object' for deallocation

[MaxGraey]

object = null is standard way to signalize for GC to forcing delete object by reference in js.

What is the philosophy for memory management?

My opinion is to keep things simple and only support manual memory management initially (i.e. malloc/free) and if a module doesn't do any malloc/free operations there would be no cost to the module.

Same philosophy here. MVP only support manual memory management. There is another possible optimization, we can auto free allocated memory if it's not referencing outside of a function and the instance is a local variable.

Has there been any progress in this direction? Unfortunately I'm not too good at parser stuffs, but I think it should not be too difficult

[nidin]

It is doable. I will try it next week.
