I&#x27;m always a bit fascinated when what everyone knows is the next thing turns out not to be. RISC is a classic example. (ARM is light CISC compared to the sort of true minimal RISC I&#x27;m talking about.)<p>GC is borderline but it feels like it might be one of those. In retrospect one giveaway is how easy it is to avoid almost all memory problems in C++ with RAII and STL.
