&gt; Nonsense! Why would you waste any resources on infrastructure when you could use them for applications. Every cycle that your garbage collector runs is a cycle that the cpu could have been sleeping and saving battery life. This concept that we don&#x27;t need to care about resources anymore is absolute poppycock.<p>It isn&#x27;t that simple. Depending on your program it can actually be slower to do manual memory management. malloc isn&#x27;t free. In some cases allocating memory and performing GC is actually faster.<p>It&#x27;s not that we don&#x27;t have to care about resources at all just that we can sacrifice some of the resources to improve the situation for users and programmers. If that isn&#x27;t your thing then feel free to write everything in assembly.
