  In all honesty, I think that would be a very good idea.  For that matter,
I think the time has come to dispose of mid-level languages that deal
directly with memory (like C and C++) for the bulk of application programs.  
I think computers have become powerful enough that the overhead would be
significantly lower than the overhead of all these bugs and security
problems.
