It's a shame there isn't an "employable" choice of language platforms somewhere between a GC-ed language and C.

The JVM has an exquisitely tuned GC, but any GC still comes with a cost. But do I have to use a language with no safety features at all if I opt for other non-GC languages?

(I'm of course thinking of something like FreePascal, but there must be a number of good middle-ground alternatives that are being ignored in the work-place, which would easily write less hardware-hogging code)

I would not have thought the above comment was offensive. Perhaps somebody doesn't like having his/her choice of language questioned??? (whether it was Java, or C, dunno)

My hammer rocks!!!
