   C and C++ programmers are rather proud of themselves in thinking that they
   will always know when an object is no longer being referenced by anything
   else, but the dangling reference is one of the most notorious and hard to
   find class of bugs in these programming languages!
   They just do not believe in garbage collection ...

True.  When your hammer is C++, everything begins to look like a thumb.
