Enterprise applications moved to Java on purpose to lose the issues that memory management causes. In my last job I first came in contact with people who had never had to do any type of memory management, that was only 8 years ago (that guy probably has his PhD by now and will be Dr Coole...seriously). If you can stand the speed of GC languages then, there's a whole bunch of savings you get in development time and especially in support.

As a matter of fact GC is godsend when writing concurrent code - there is no ABA issue.
