So called 'garbage collection'. That is why apps these days are so bloated. Managing the memory yourself means you only use what you need, when you need it. It really is very simple.
|
|
|
|
|
And so called "Memory Leaks" creep up on self managed memory allocation sometime blue-screened the entire app. Or are we so perfect that it will never happens?

Why would memory leak? You free memory when you have done with it.

Sorry... we have to rephrase that as per the PM to make it 'inclusive'.
What had heretofore been known as JavaScript will now be called BeverageScript.

BeverageKind is, I think, the accepted term.

In my experience people don't learn JavaScript.
They copy-paste random code until it magically starts working, then refactor everything into a gazillion functions and plaster unit-tests all over it. Once they realize they've written too much code and have too many dependencies, they call it a framework.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your question almost seems to assume that those writing JS are "learning it at school or college".
My impression is there is a lot of blind use of "other" code, that is misunderstood, then f*rked, patched, etc.
Exactly what is going on in every new crypto-currency.

Last time I heard MIT switch to JavaScript from Java. Most school teach web (authoring) and some minimal JS. When I was in school, the only teachable languages available are C, Pascal and FORTRAN.

Reason #26, and still, the page that shows the article fails to render properly on IE11.
I'm seeing the image at the top, lots of blank space, then the comments at the very bottom of the page.

JavaScript is such a mess that in the past few months while writing some code that should have been simple, loading configuration before starting listening for user requests, I caught myself thinking that what I was doing would have been trivial if I was writing it in C. Add a decent HTTP library or *cgi server and the rest of it wouldn't have been too difficult either.
I'm pretty convinced that no one who says anything good about JavaScript has ever even tried to read the ECMAScript specification.

Used this book Pure Javascript[^] ... 1616 pages with supplemental CD! Did I learn much? That's up for debate but still use the book as a reference. And it wasn't that cheap back then.

Cooking at home with meat you grind yourself no, at a restaurant yes.

Yes. Medium-well done, a slice of mild Cheddar on top, layers of thinly-sliced onion, and a bit of mustard with dill, all on a whole wheat or multigrain bun covered in sesame seeds. :Drool:

What - no second patty (all beef of course), special sauce, lettuce, or pickles? 
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

I think you meant, "Special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. It's a good time, for the great taste of McDonald's today!" Loved that jingle! Reminds me of simpler times...

Yes but he had already included the cheese, onions and sesame seed bun - I was just filling in the missing parts.
