gollark: I mean, they're programmed with manual memory management somewhere lower in the stack, obviously, but you don't have to touch that so it is much less hassle.
gollark: The fact that you do *not* need to do this is why we have lots of nice applications which do not leak memory, are secure, and can be programmed in reasonable time.
gollark: If I had to manage memory manually like in C in all my applications, they would probably run slower, leak memory randomly, take several times longer to program, and have large security issues.
