It's not the age, it's the language.

Lisp is close to 50 years old, and it doesn't have these "basic memory
management issues".

C, C++, et al. have a direct-access memory model.  Change that model and
the "issues" of memory management disappear.

More realistically, changing models only trades one set of memory
management issues for another set.  If you don't like the set you traded
to, you may only trade for a whole different set with different issues.
You rarely get to pick and choose the exact strengths and weaknesses you
want.  They come packaged together with the memory model.
