Getting completely (I mean ENTIRELY) rid off GC

[Andrey Lifanov via Digitalmars-d]

Everyone tells about greatness and safety of GC, and that it is 
hard to live without it... But, I suppose, you all do know the 
one programming language in which 95% of AAA-quality popular 
desktop software and OS is written. And this language is C/C++.

How do you explain this? Just because we are stubborn and silly 
people, we use terrible old C++? No. The real answer: there is no 
alternative.

Stop telling fairy tales that there is not possible to program 
safe in C++. Every experienced programmer can easily handle 
parallel programming and memory management in C++. Yes, it 
requires certain work and knowledge, but it is possible, and many 
of us do it on the everyday basis (on my current work we use 
reference counting, though the overall quality of code is 
terrible, I must admit).
