Object lifetime isn't the same thing as memory management. Consider a
database transaction, or any resource lock. Why you want your
underpressure, tired etc programmers time after time having to do their own
rollbacks or releases is beyond me.

OTOH garbage collection isn't a panacea, however you manage memory if your
programmers don't know what they're doing you're heading for trouble.
