Go’s march to low-latency GC

I'm not sure where you got manual memory management from. I was strictly referring to RAII. Manual memory management is such a pain but the C++ and Rust ways are very similar with RAII.

I usually refer to everything that isn't GC as 'manual'. RAII is an abstraction on top of manual management, you still need to decide what type of pointer/lifetime the allocated object should have, making it manually managed, IMHO.

RAII of course deals with more than just memory, but in a thread about GC I assumed it was memory management you referred to.
