Basically, I charge garbage collection with the same crime that
the GOTO was charged with: its sole function is to facilitate
UNDISCIPLINED programming. From Tremblay and Sorenson, 1985:
A common thought among proponents of the GOTO is: "I just
might need it; something might come up". The answer to
this appears to be: "Nothing ever does".
If this charge can be successfully prosecuted, then garbage
collection will face the same penalty: the total elimination
of the facility, in favor of a more disciplined environment.
