You are forced to by default, because if you don’t follow the rules, 
that’s a compile-time error.

Continuously-compacting concurrent collectors like those available for
Java aim for less than 10ms, and often hit 1ms. You have to stop each
thread briefly to scan its stack and do a few other things, but that's
all.

GC can be a no go for certain schemes. GC can be fine and it has its place.

It is the situations where GC cannot be used that are niches that have
their place. Everywhere else, you can use GC.

In other words, a GC language could not even cope reasonably with a light 
memory-management load.

After reading the article, it seems clear that the design of the
GC used in Go is not a good fit to the Discord server workload.
That is not to say that Go's GC would be a bad fit for other
workloads, only that it's not a good choice for the Discord
server.  Also it seems clear that other approaches to GC design
(meant in the sense of already having been thought of and tried)
would be just fine for the Discord server.  Of course whether
such schemes would be a good fit for the Go environment is
a separate question (and one about which I have nothing to
offer since I know very little about Go).

It's very hard to make a blanket statement that applies to all
the different approaches to garbage collection, or to other
automatic memory management schemes (with reference counting as a
specific example), in a general way.  My experience with garbage
collected environments is that they are perfectly usable both for
long-term use and for interactive use.  Reference counting too:
typically RC gives a smoother feel, but that comes at a cost,
because RC does not, by itself, reclaim circular structures.
That means that either, one, code must be written to break the
circularity of such structures (so memory management is not fully
automated);  or two, periodically some sort of more general GC
method must be invoked to reclaim them;  or three, eventually
more and more memory is used to where the application must be
rebooted (like the memory usage patterns of some popular web
browsers).  The question is what kind of workloads need to be
supported - some schemes are good for typical interactive, but
short-term, applications, other schemes are better for the sort
of long-term server processes like the Discord example.  The
space of already existing techniques for doing GC is pretty
large - if a particular kind of workload needs to be supported,
there is a very good chance that an appropriate GC scheme can
be found without much difficulty.

Incidentally, there is no such thing as a fully automatic memory
management system.  Even full garbage collection sometimes needs
help from the programmer so all memory is eventually reclaimed.
(If you're feeling brave try doing a web search for "ephemeron".)
The point of all AMM schemes is not to reduce the amount of
programmer effort to zero but simply to greatly reduce it (and
hopefully reduce it to zero in many of the most common cases).
But for complicated programs it's almost inevitable that some
programmer-written code needs to be included to help whatever
automated mechanisms are used.

The questions presented were somewhat general, and so the answers
given are also rather general.  In spite of that I hope you found
what you're looking for.

Then we will hear about how human programmers cannot be trusted... AI is 
there. No programmers needed now. Jesting, of course, but I have heard 
some people starting to think that way.

Nope, I actually have had a Professional Engineer's License in Texas for

software development.

Since you are clearly happy to post using UTF-8, can I urge you to fix
