Yes, I've noticed how some C++ programmers on reddit and other
places say things like "I looked at the website for language
X, but when I saw they mentioned using a GC I lost all
interest".
These are looking for a reason not to use X. They were never
potential users.
Actually, I don't think so. They have just been disappointed by
other languages with a GC and have dismissed GC as a viable
solution for their type of programming (like DSP).
I think being a non-GC programmer is a part of an _identity_ they
take pride in.
You might say that is akin to audiophiles, sometimes it makes
sense, sometimes not?
