I was going to say "a better version of C#" but maybe an entirely different language would be better.

C# uses stack and heap for memory management, which is to say this is an entire language designed around memory management. Should memory management be a core of a modern programming language? Available memory has expanded like 1000x in the lifetime of this language.

Yet all of RAM gets eaten by running a few dozen apps. Apps that would really need a few tens of MB but end up using 2+ GB each.

That’s what you get when memory is considered to be something programmers shouldn’t care about.
