Even Rust doesn't try to solve this problem...because it isn't
really a problem in practice.
In c++/rust code you use value/unique types 99.9% of the time, and
reference counting is only for shared/aliased objects.
Reference counting == rare and unimportant
Really? I've seen tons of C++ code that's written using smart pointers
with objects living on the heap which then get passed around all over
the place.
if they're using shared_ptr all over the place, they're doing it wrong.
shared_ptr is supposed to be a last resort
This is awesomely Kafkian. So we have no problem after all - just like
Go with generics :o). -- Andrei
