Isn't that C++? (I'm not very learned, here, I'm really asking about this for a friend).

It is C++. Note that this perfectly reasonable individual choice tend to ensnare us all in a local maximum.

One route out of this local maximum could be CPUs optimized for garbage collection and a high rate of function call. I doubt we will see that any-time soon, though.
