I just got a chance to watch this, and one thing that I found 
more unsettling than your posture was your assertion that 
destructors and finalizers are "the same thing", in contrast to 
Hans-J. Boehm, who asserts that C++ destructors and Java 
finalizers "are completely different facilities". I assume that 
you've read Boehm's report  
http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2002/HPL-2002-335.html and if 
so I'd be interested in why you think he is mistaken, since both 
of your statements can't be correct.
