Good programmers should have the most control of whats going on 
in their software. Garbage collection isn’t a silver bullet, as 
you said, so it should NOT be the mandatory/default memory 
management.

Garbage seeker helps you to create a great software, improve your 
skills, without force you to accept one solution of memory 
management.
