Memory issues are amplified a bit by garbage collection though, in that every pointer must be stored twice, and collection will take time and evict things from cpu cache etc.

If you were struggling with this, turning to Rust might be a thing people would try, even if it wasn't fixing the first order problems, and only addressing the 2nd order ones.
