I would offer the opposing viewpoint that managed memory is indispensable for today's developer and the greatest thing since sliced bread. Leave c to the systems programming experts who actually care what a buffer overflow is. Its far better to be handed an uninitialized or bogus reference exception than to simply let the code access whatever memory got accidently pointed to, or even worse, have your "stack smashed for fun and profit."
