And as always, the people who call themselfes "efficient" don't 
care for memory safety.
Everybody should use GC - not for assistence because of 
idiocracy, but as a fallback, because even the very best and most 
efficient developers can make mistakes. This is why all modern 
computer systems are full of loopholes. We should finally trash 
manual memory magagement - or at least put huge red warning 
lables on such products that they may be a little faster but can 
be very dangerous.
