How much money do you want to bet that millionaires and over will elect to opt-out of the bug cuisine? That means they want to make poor people eat bugs! The only way this "program" could be fair is if both billionaires and joe sc

Yes, you're correct that os's have some kind of rudimentary reference counting for files, but it's very inchoate and not designed as the primary method of handling file references.

Disagree that it is a small benefit. Resource management becomes so unwieldly that there's little difference between a 100k line application in Java and a 100k line application in C with regards to memory/resource management. Are

Programming is reasoning about complex closed systems. Mathematics is reasoning about complex open systems (like the universe). Programming has more in common with biology than it does with math!

Managing resources by hand is managing the mechanical implementation details of a computer. So in order to have garbage collection that manages more than just a sliver of memory so small that it counts as a rounding error by the same yo

So in order to have complete automatic resource management you need to build a custom OS and possibly even custom hardware.

What is even the point of garbage collection? By the time you manage all the resources of a 100k line application you're going to have to do as much work as if you wrote it in C.

I want a language where the garbage collector not only frees inaccessible dynamically allocated blocks, but also frees all resources when they're inaccessible. Is it possible to design such a generalized GC?

Yes. Most of the United States is either continental or subtropical climate, which gets brutally hot and humid in the summer. Air conditioning is as necessary as heating in the winter. Most of Europe is either oceanic or mediterranean, whic

I kind of am extremely weary of any kind of alien talk. Heaven's Gate and Scientology all revolve around some form of alien-worship, and they were and are extremely destructive and evil religions.
