The best garbage collectors of today are a *lot* better
than they used to be. (They are mostly not found in Java
VMs, though.) I'm not convinced automatic memory management
is a great idea for writing a chess program, but for lots
of purposes it seems to me to be a real win. On what grounds
do you say it's unfathomably lame?
