I don’t understand. Either your saying adding or removing elements to an array doesn’t manipulate memory, or you’re saying adding or removing elements in an array does manipulate memory, but the developer doesn’t care due to the GC. If it’s the second option, why has (almost) every other language chosen with a GC to start arrays with 0?
