related to lack of garbage collection?
in order to improve the language like MSFT has improved C# these last
few years, GC and other base features are a necessity. A good example
for me is SQL result sets. There is a lot of business functions which
can be performed on result sets and other data collection objects.
Call an sql procedure, get a result set in return, access the columns
collection of the result set, join to columns in another result set,
sort the rows, then pass the object on to another program which
creates an XML document from the collected data.
