Parent poster didn't imply that the replacement would be garbage collected, just memory safe, which is a pretty big difference. I think you will see it sooner than you may think, it seems the tide may be turning.

Alright, I missed that nuance. I don't think I've ever worked with a language that provided memory safety without garbage collection.
