Yeah, you don't need/want manual memory management for most CLIs.

  If anything I’ve actually seen people using the OS’s virtual memory as a garbage collector in C and C++. Not really portable everywhere, but close enough for most people. For short-lived executables that can’t really allocate unlimited memory, it’s perfectly fine.

    I've done that. But in those cases, GC would also be fine. Might even end before it collects.
