Garbage collection is not the only way to achieve safe memory management.

Agreed but its the one way which requires little headspace when solving a problem.

I find RTTI to require fairly little cognitive load and I don't find resolving memory ownership to be particularly difficult.

Yuck. RTTI is C++'s goto.

Er, sorry. I didn't proof the past. Meant RAII. My bad.
