Those are garbage-collected environments. I have some experience with a garbage-collected 'assembly' (.NET CIL). It is a delight to read and write compared to most C code.
Agree to disagree then! I've done plenty of CIL reading and writing. It's fine, but not what I'd call pleasant, not even compared to C.
