I, and the company I was at, switched from C++ to Java in the 1990's, and garbage collection was a major productivity boost. Lately it's been Python and JavaScript. Has C++ come up with ways to help with manual memory management, to make it as convenient as garbage collected languages, or almost as convenient?

Programming in C++ today is very little like C++ in the 90s.

No one coding modern C++ feels any envy for other languages' GC.

Yes, modern c++ code wont have manually deleting objects in memory.
