Is there a language similar to Rust but with a garbage collector?

Hi everyone,

I’m learning Rust and I really like its performance and safety model. I know Rust doesn’t use a garbage collector and instead relies on ownership and borrowing.

I’m curious: are there programming languages that are similar to Rust but use a garbage collector instead?

I’d like to compare the approaches and understand the trade-offs.

Thanks!
