It is interesting to have watched this debate over the years. 
Bjarne S. responded to the Java crowd by embracing the GC. He 
still has on his FAQ: "If you want automatic garbage collection, 
there are good commercial and public-domain garbage collectors 
for C++. For applications where garbage collection is suitable, 
C++ is an excellent garbage collected language with a performance 
that compares favorably with other garbage collected languages."
