On garbage collection:
Bjarne Stroustrup (translated from danish): Yes, programming
language creators and researchers have always been fascinated
by garbage collection. I think that is a mistake: GC is not
general - it cannot deal with non-memory resources - and is not
ideal - it introduces a central facility in (otherwise)
distributed systems. The good solution is to not produce
garbage: http://www.stroustrup.com/resource-model.pdf . RAII is
central in my ideas about programming.

Non-memory resource management.
I really hope something gets figured out with lifetimes this year.
