I was once made fun of (in a kind of humiliating way, now that I recall) by a bunch of HPC scientists in a room at KAUST for saying that C++ had support for GC.
They were like "if you knew the least bit a about C++, you'd knew it doesn't have a GC".
I was like, "yeah cool, but C++ does have some GC functionality", but they just shut me down. My background is Biology so there were a few remarks about how "a biologist just doesn't know these things, lol".
This was around 2019, btw. And sure, I'm a biologist, but I also happen to have spent 8-10 hours/week for the past 20 years coding because I just really like it; so, there's my 10k hours, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
