Everyone tells about greatness and safety of GC, and that it is

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).
You mean safe like openssl, gnutls or apple's one ?
