It's weird how today we have memory in gigabytes and multiple core but we try to avoid virtual calls, care about object sizes and stack allocate, but the everything virtual, everything on the heap, refcounting everything designs were made with megabytes of RAM and a single core.https://twitter.com/kneecaw/status/970842293837103104 …

A lot of people thought that any GC—even a bad GC (e.g. ref counting)—was automatically better than manual memory management.

If manual is "make sure you don’t call free() too much or too little or you’re dead", isn’t a GC strictly better?
