In modern C++, you no longer need to manually-manage your memory (except when writing custom containers and low-level libraries). Memory is managed automagically, no garbage is generated and no collection is necessary.

Of course, you can also do manual allocations if you really wanted to, but - with the changes in the language since C++11 - you just don't have the motivation to do it.

Yet C++/WinRT uses a background deletion thread to overcome pauses in cascade deletions of COM instances.
