Programming language with automatic memory management. Look up "garbage collection" for all the details in the world.

The reason I brought it up is because it's a common trope that you can't do low-level programming with GC, and systems like Oberon are direct evidence to the contrary.

Exactly. I see the question on Stack Overflow all the time and just keep dropping a whole list of counterexamples. Too many myths in IT that hold mainstream back.
