Exactly. Its very hard to claim that one is just putting stuff out on "the marketplace of ideas", when in reality, losing ground to an ideology that places people who have non-majority skin color, sexuality or religious views (or lack thereof) below the majority is simply dangerous to any minority, and should not be allowed to fester. This is not just about ideas, its about refusing others the full rights of personhood. And that should not stand in any ethical society.

You seriously should just start the discussion by actually checking out how garbage collection actually works instead of touting random garbage about how it is just a predictions game.

Garbage collection has multiple variations, multiple optimizations, multiple tradeoffs. Different variations are powering the most popular and the most used languages all around the world (see also: C#, Javascript, Java).

To think that that is just "research thrown at a bad problem" is sheer insanity.

I propose we split this discussion up, because dealing with leaks is a completely different problem than dealing with garbage collection. You can have memory leaks in manually managed languages too, it has nothing to do with GC. But lets not throw the whole field out just because you do not want to deal with automatic memory management tradeoffs.
