Perfect Language

Name: Anonymous 2007-07-13 5:42 ID:EaZ8xpJA

So, I was looking at this thread http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1183997706/1-40 and all the various language bashing threads and was wondering... What, in the opinions of anonymous and 4chan in general, would make a perfect programming language? I am interested in both syntax and features and general flames, since they entertain me.

Because with a GC references to types (whether static or dynamic) are always valid.

Data only becomes "garbage" and is swept up by a GC when there are no longer any references to it. On the other hand, with manual memory management, you can deallocate/delete what's being pointed to even if there's more than one pointer, thus resulting in a program flaw, and potential bugs.

This is well known as a "dangling pointer".
