That's true. GC and manual are the two ends of the spectrum with other options in between like Rust. By catastrophic mistakes I mean security vulnerabilities created by memory safety related mistakes. Maybe it's just me but I cann

Exactly. 95% of programmers are application programmers - they ship software used by regular users. I think it's insane to use a non-GC language for most of those cases. Manual memory management is mentally taxing and it's easy t
