Honestly, it would probably be garbage collection. My first job in the 90’s was writing C code and burning it on to EPROMs. By the time I came to learning Java some time latter, I had moved through C++, Delphi (also, does anybody remember Powerbuilder?) and even PHP and Javascript, but this was the first ‘serious’ language I’d picked up that used garbage collection.
The free-wheeling, devil-may-care attitude of just allocating memory offending my well worn sensibilities no end. I’ll give you my destructors when you pry them from my cold, dead keyboards.
It is incredible how diverse programming is, most of my experience is with web-focused languages like PHP and JavaScript so memory allocation is a concept that has never been part of my daily work. But I can understand the difference you must have felt when switching, haha.
