That is not the case. I have actually patched the source code to 
SpiderMonkey myself, I have literally sat next to the people who work on 
the engine, SpiderMonkey is garbage-collected. Mark-and-trace, although 
the plan is to move to generational GC. I'm not so sure about V8, but 
the page I linked to explicitly mentions generational garbage 
collection, so I'm sure it's in the same boat.

If you don't believe that, what would it take to get you to believe the 
truth? A signed note from Brendan Eich himself?
