Why do you have to put that data structure in GC memory?

In a simple sentence. Because all MELT data are GC-ed.

As a hint every "functional" language implementation I know about (all Lisps & Schemes, Ocaml, Haskell, SML/NJ...) have garbage collected closures. So does MELT.

Do you want me to elaborate on this?
