So the question to those stating the obvious that GC'd languages and platforms may use more memory on average. What is the alternative? Abandon GC and let everyone manage memory manually?
There are trade offs when choosing a language. No language is good for every use case.
My opinion:
Manually manage memory when deterministic memory management is required.
GC'd languages that offer productivity improvements where deterministic memory management is not important.
