I was told by a number of unix admins that when C/C++ servers were the norm that was the standard operating procedure for any large enterprise. It was something that was planned for when putting the process together for a new server application.
And it wasn't just for memory. File descriptors and sockets also needed to be cleaned up.

I think to remember for the first windows servers that this was a standard procedure (not daily, but about weekely). This not because of the applications/services but because windows was the problem at that time.

That's SOP for any data center. Mostly because of the OS, not the applications.

I reckon @CodeWraith answered it quite well, to rephrase it another way:
c, c++, c#, <name your="" favorite="" language=""> does not have memory leaks,
poorly written applications (and libraries) do.
so do the latest features to c++ solve the issues?
No. ...please re-read the statement in bold above.
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

To be honest, I like the "feature" that I as the programmer is responsible for each and every resource and therefore need to pay attention to it. This is a clear straight forward situation and in case I'm not able to take care about the resource management then I better do not program.
Vs. c#, where there are hidden traps ... I need to take care e.g. wether sometng is IDisponable or not and so on. Case by case, not straight forward.
Only my 2 cents.

Yep, combo of std::unique_ptr, std::shared_ptr and std::weak_ptr are very good. I much prefer to use these than the IDispose pattern but I spend 80% time doing c++ and 20% doing c#

I was reading this article about how terrible JavaScript is:
The JavaScript phenomenon is a mass psychosis – Hacker Noon[^]
It got me thinking that the only reason that it stays around, to say nothing of its utter ubiquity nowadays, is because everyone uses it, and so everyone continues to use it because it would be too much of a pain to stop using it - which seems to me to be the definition of "technical debt".

Over time, curious to see what sort of adoption rate this gets. With Node.js, utilization of JavaScript seemed to be spreading instead of dying out (like it should).
The trend lately seems towards non-type-safe languages (like JavaScript and Python).
I'm hoping for a reversal in trend. Maybe WASM will help

In 1995, Netscape Communications recruited Brendan Eich with the goal of embedding the Scheme programming language into its Netscape Navigator.Before he could get started, Netscape Communications collaborated with Sun Microsystems to include in Netscape Navigator Sun's more static programming language Java, in order to compete with Microsoft for user adoption of Web technologies and platforms.Netscape Communications then decided that the scripting language they wanted to create would complement Java and should have a similar syntax, which excluded adopting other languages such as Perl, Python, TCL, or Scheme. To defend the idea of JavaScript against competing proposals, the company needed a prototype. Eich wrote one in 10 days, in May 1995.

Article complains about JS then mentions Java in the list of better languages...  Not by much if at all. But even though TS is a temporary band-aid over the language in my opinion, framework hell isn't going anywhere
