Technically, his prediction (the implied inevitability of GC) came true, in practice, it did not.
Optional GC was added, never implemented, never used, and removed again.
- pjmlp 3y agoMostly because its design never took into consideration the needs of Unreal C++, C++/CLI, C++/CX, Bohem and Olipan. So the major C++ GC implementations ignored what was there and kept using their own solutions.
