Nobody should be allowed to learn a high-level language before a low-level language along with assembly. That way, you'll learn how to recognize and cherish those things that are done automatically for you, and keep in mind that the VM is not magic and will not magically optimize your code for you. As for the manual memory management, fuck this I'm not repeating all of my pro-GC arguments in every
troll shit thread; I'll maybe write it into a kopipe (like the anti-Python kopipe), but I'm too drunk to do it tonight and tomorrow I won't remember.

Yeah, my code isn't really perfect, but my mistakes are often off-by-ones and things that show up immediately on valgrind. It's very rare that my mistakes make it into an actual commit.
The rest of your post makes it sound like you're on some group project with a bunch of retards and you think it's all C's fault.
Fuck you, look at GNOME. Oversimplified crashing piece of shit that takes tons of memory. Computers used to run just fine with much less memory. If GC and a safe language will get me rid of 90% of the crashes and maybe even lead to simpler and faster code, then be it. Why does driving require a license but writing code that can bring down the fucking machine doesn't?
fuck why do I respond to shit like this
