Citation needed on how garbage collection has been a smashing 
success based on its merits rather than the merits of the 
languages that use garbage collection. Python was also a smashing 
success, but it doesn't use a garbage collector in it's default 
implementation (CPython). Unless you mean garbage collection as 
in "not manual memory management"? But that still might not be as 
simple, because RAII would fall somewhere inbetween.
