GC mixed with OOP is shit, because objects that can't finalize themselves are more troublesome than memory management. But if you're just cleaning up some forgotten cons cells I guess that's cool.

GC is good for domain-specific solutions, but it doesn't adequately address the issue of multiple inheritance out of the box.

And here is the actual motivation behind the GC-hater-guy: he hates anything that isn't C or very C-like. Hating on GC is acceptable for him because it tends to slightly make performance less predictable and most (high-level) languages have it. Some less usual languages which are not exactly high-level, but unusual enough to not match in his box are discarded for 'weird' because the GC excuse can no longer work for them.

Wrong! Its just the shitspammer again.
If you pay attention to /prog/, you will notice shit being spammed over and over again and then it stops and he finds something new.
It occurs in a periodic matter, i dont remember what it was before that, but i know its the same guy and you can see which shit it is.
>>23 Fuck off, ``faggot''.
Lead by example. If you consider me to be ``the'' shitspammer, then you are wrong since I am not the same person as the anti-GC troll.
Regardless, you are still part of what's wrong with /prog/ these past two years.
Memory is so cheap today that there is no need for either garbage collection or FMOM (forced management of memory).
Just write your /prog/rams so that they can be restarted easily and quickly before they reach, say, 7 GB of heap (a reasonable amount, based on the current price of < $50 for 2x4GB DDR3).

That's the most terrible idea I have ever heard.

aven image, and
falleth down thereto.
44:16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth
flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself,
and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: 44:17 And the residue
thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto
it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me;
for thou art my god.
44:18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes,
that they cannot see

God says...
C:\TEXT\BIBLE.TXT
Will a lion
roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of
his den, if he have taken nothing? 3:5 Can a bird fall in a snare
upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare
from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? 3:6 Shall a trumpet be
blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil
in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD
will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the
prophets.

I'm one of those "GC is shit" -guys. I like C (you were right in this), C++ and Python. I don't like GC, but that does not prevent me from using GC languages. I have made lots of code in Java and C#. I don't really enjoy coding with them though. I guess I'm obsessed with performance. I like Python, even though it's slow as fuck, but I mainly use it for lightweight hacking stuff. GC is shit. So what?
I would try Forth though. I can't see any advantages for that language. Are there any? It's not really used anywhere anymore, is it?

Yes, you are kinda right. I say that "GC is shit" shit just to tease GC lovers. But I really think GC isn't that good.
