All true but if the compiler can make your life easier then new people
will be going that route.
Exaggeration. Calling .free is not hard. Nobody complains about e.g.
having to close files or sockets, after use. It's the same with memory.
Manual memory management is a thing of the past I think it’s safe to say.
No, it's not. The GC languages are just a tiny layer on the top,
scripting things. All the performance critical work underneath is done
by languages, that compile to native code and use manual memory
management. Take a look at the source of your kernel, your GPU drivers,
your graphics environment, or your browser. These aren't getting
rewritten in a GC'd language anytime soon.
