This is well-worn folklore, but a bit misleading. Most of my recent space
leaks have been caused by excessive strictness.
Space leaks occur in all kinds of programs and languages, and I am not
convinced there is a strong correlation between laziness and leakiness. If
anything, I think there is observation bias: lazy programmers have good tools
for identifying, finding, and removing leaks. Others do not.
