If you're going to spout FUD about C++ at least use the right terminology please. For a start "the STL" is a library from the 90s and what you probably mean is "the C++ standard library" and secondly I assume you mean avoid the standard containers such as std::vector, which allocate memory. There's no reason to avoid using e.g. std::sort or std::lower_bound on an array.
