It's very easy to "make it work" while fencing with compiler warnings by just copying things around instead of developing a clear sense of memory ownership. I've seen myself fall into this trap. The upside, coming from C, is that you don't have terrible memory safety issues. The downside is that you have the same data copied all over the place and (accidentally) allocate like a mad man. Managed memory is not inherently bad or good.
