Although I find my brainspace being dedicated to thinking about memory, rather than the problem at hand.

Which can be a worthwhile cost if the benefits of speed and security are needed. But I think it's certainly a cognitive cost.



You can use RC liberally to avoid thinking about memory though. The only memory problem to think about then is circular refs, which GC languages also don't fully avoid.
