I built a simple program (factorial), and the binary size was extremely small, and the binary had only a few symbols in it.. so no GC on native? How does that work?

Kotlin/Native has automated memory management (aka GC), just tracing collector is not the only way to solve this problem. ARC + cyce collector provides different performance characteristics comparted to the tracing collector, and there are few techniques to improve locality and decrease fragmentation we are working on.
