garbage collection

To me it makes no sense. Why would you want your language to decide how to collect your garbage. Just throw away the shit when you are done with it unless you are a lazy slob piece of shit. Machines making decisions for you is no good. Do you guys also drive cars with automatic transmissions? That is unacceptable.

enjoy your valgrind

well that's kinda how GC works anyway! done with your object? remove all references to it. will lose access to some references after they're created? make them weak. no weak references? your language is broken!

I agree. Filthy IDE's could even have checking for whether the dumbfuck programmer has called the cleanup routines.

Unlike you, I actually have work to get through. I like to use tools for their purposes, not because I feel so elitist that I'm better than the tool.

Unless you are writing a quick script in perl or something GC is unnecessary.

ha ha, that "checking" that you think IDE's should have is called static analysis, of which lint and valgrind are examples. The fact that you think static analysis will automatically spot all areas of unused memory proves that most programmers dont understand that this ties in with Turing's halting problem and that it is impossible to do accurate static memory checking. So software continues to be buggy and leak memory just because programmers buy into the myth that manual memory management is somehow better than gc.

I love when the retards on this board throw around "big words" that they dont understand and everyone else does understand which makes them feel smart but only shows what an idiot they are to everyone else

programmer time is more valuable than machine time

I like garbage collected languages.
I also don't bother with cleaning up after myself and I toss my garbage out of the window onto the street.
