Why in other languages ​​there is no automatic garbage collection similar to Java Garbage Collector?

Question

What is the reason that other languages ​​do not have a garbage collector?

Why is garbage collection not built in for these other languages? Why are programmers responsible for collecting?

Answer 1

Reasons to not have garbage collection:

• Truly efficient collectors were not developed until 1985 1990. Languages ​​developed before this time, if efficiency was the goal, do not contain garbage collection. Examples: Ada, C, Fortran, Modula-2, Pascal.

Ideal programmers do not need network lines, and excellent programmers do not need a GC. It is a pity that there are no ideal programmers. Confidence is important, but humility prevents us from destroying ourselves.
