this specifically relates to your discussion with TJ that you "[cut]"
out of your response.

TJ: "Contrary to what most "modern" programmers would like to promote,
I do not believe for one second that mandatorily garbage collected,
bounded languages create better code design."
KatolaZ: "I honestly can't see all this failing around of code written
in Python, Perl or Ruby :)"

you said you didn't see the code failing, i explained why you didn't
see it and that it is happening.
