Yep, but this is mostly due language stuff (templates and MPL childish playgrounds) so compiler developers have to use academic research papers to make them work. Compile-time optimizations??? Come on !

I'm just curious, why people see GC as salvation? No pun intended, but GC is designed for seasoned programmers. Probably someone will call me nuts, but those who ever encountered problems with leaks in Java GC will know what I'm talking about. Ordinary malloc()/free() leaks you can always fix, but GC leaks don't. And... there is _no_ perfect GC.

I'm just hoping it will never come :P. Someone said: "That ship abandoned smart peoples long time ago". Fully agree :)
