Garbage Collectors solve some really hard problems in regards to memory management.
i've *never* encountered "really hard problems" with manual memory management in C.
It is a very good base line for memory management when you do not care about its life time.
I *do* care about its life-time
The more I have studied memory allocators & management strategies
memory allocators and GC are different things i've had at some point 'free list' based allocator and it worked ~3 times faster than malloc/free when used for classical linked list implementation.
They really are amazing for most programs.
one-shot programs? ,)
