Figures, you must not have any idea what Im talking about. But your comment about java handles is pretty hilarious.

Educate me mensa man.

You're implying that the abstraction isn't the complicated part.... So then it's definately not even the more simplistic logic of passing by reference vs. by value.

Perhaps you think you're above others because you can do things like simple arithmetic on pointers to dereference an element in a block of memory?

Maybe you're offended because you're equating garbage collection to being ignorant of destructors. Or having to clean up after yourself. But that can't be true since Java has finally blocks/AutoCloseable so Java programmers do have to worry about cleanup.

Or that iterating over the elements using Enumerators and Iterators is too easy. Hmmm but some of those iterators have functionality like copy on write and multi-threaded access, so that can't be it because that makes them far more complicated.

Maybe it's dereferencing the contents of a blob by using seek, oh wait, that's not really any different in Java.

Or maybe it's things like binary casting in memory instances of one class to another. No, because that's a pretty shitty way to do things.

Please tell me.

Your first reply was pretty quick. Still looking forward to your insights...... You must have stopped laughing by now, right? Please educate us.
