I'm sorry to call out this comment specifically, but almost everything you said here is not true. Out-Of-Memory crashes are not the status quo. The JVM garbage collector is (generally) a very high performance system that has improved incredibly over the past decade, it's not as simple as saying it's missing reference counting so it's "horrid". These are the kind of lazy generalization that causes people to make poor technology decisions.
