>what technology you choose depends on what you value

No, what technology you choose depends first and foremost on what you want to achieve. If you want a to run a realtime application on as many platforms and devices as possible with steady fps, a GC language is not the technlogy you can use.

In contrast, you can write web applications in almost any language with little technical differences. That's the point where you can start to make a value assessment.

>It doesn't make programs better

Yes it does. With a GC you lose control over runtime, which is crucial to the performance.

I'm not advocating against GC in general. Many desktop apps, most web apps and low-tech games can be fine with it. But saying manual memory management is outdated, when our 4 GHz Multicore machines struggle to run smoothly is ridiculous.

Maybe for you. But not for me. I find the rest of your post to be very mean spirited.

I don't work in the games industry because those constraints sound miserable.
