Garbage Collection not untill 2007... !... Thats just
wrong..

Given GNUstep has Garbage Collection for three years now and about nobody uses it, I can see an urgent demand here.

typo: ... can _not_ see an urgent demand here.

Coming from a Java background, Garbage collection _can not_ come soon enough. All this memory management code is really just cluttering up my source files and in my opinion shows just how far behind the times the C languages are. In the 5 years that I used java I never had to track down a "retain/release or malloc/delete" issue once. In the year and half that I have been doing Obj-C and C++ I have had to spend countless hours tracking down memory leaks. Garbage collection is "a good thing" and should be embraced where it makes sense.


This is the 21rst century.. In my little utopian world memory management is a solved problem. I want to work on my own problems not try to get right how to retain/release or malloc/delete.

DISCLAIMER: I am new to C++ and Objective-C so some of the memory leaks were obviously newbie mistakes as I was not familiar enough with the memory model for each language. Of course when I learned Java, I was in the same newbie boat but I still did not have to track down a memory leak once because Garbage collection did it for me.
