The use of reference counting is suddenly really compelling for me to try out Tcl a bit. I've been looking for a good reference-counted language (other than Perl, which is where much of my programming background originated), and Tcl's looking more and more like a good fit.
CPython is a good reference counted language. So are J/K/A+/Kona.
(PyPy and Jython are NOT reference counted - so saying "Python is reference counted" is wrong)
