Someday, they're going to make a langauge called:

No buffer overflows, all memory allocs and mallocs create a memory
object that self expands or contracts as necessary, or issues an
exception if it tries to go past a limit you put as an argumen to a malloc.

With gigabytes of real memory and 100 gigibytes plus of virtual memory,
the programmer should not handle memory management any more. The
consumers and software users expect programmers to give up their pride
and let go of total control of the memory model, (like they have it now
). The only excetion might be hardware drivers.

Nobody say C#, OK? An Msoft imposed solution that integrates all their
products, mistakes, football stadium sized APIs, and private backdoors
is not the answer.
