i'm sure it's a coincidence that we decided it was too much to ask for programmers to handle memory allocation and twenty years later if you leave a social media website tab open for a day now it's using 876 MB of memory

honestly, we don't actually need programmers to manage memory C++ style, we just need them to be *able* to. the real problem is that GC languages implicitly teach people that malloc is a free operation and therefore teach them to waste it absolutely firehose-style

if you just dial that back *moderately* instead of writing everything as fluent transformations that allocate twelve intermediary data structures because those look nicer than crusty old for loops in your IDE, the results are tremendous
