Garbage collection necessarily wastes memory by factor of 1.5 to 2.
The collection itself also slows down the program, and in some languages cannot even happen asynchronously.

Finally, the most important aspect for program performance is locality and memory layout, something you cannot even optimize for in a language where every object is a pointer to some memory on a garbage-collected heap.

Not if they use pngcrush first.

Why is it women who are showing off the product?

There are research papers on the subject of finding the best path, it isn't exactly simple.
Take a look at what Microsoft has done for Bing Maps for example:

In Chinese. But when speaking about the game in English, people use 'go'.

What sort of software project doesn't enforce proper indentation?
Badly indented code doesn't pass code reviews.

Curly brackets are most aesthetically pleasing.

How is a language without personality and history any good?
Natural languages are not meant to be formal.

Who the hell calls 'go' 'weiqi' ?

Path finding isn't embarassingly parallel. It can be parallelized, but it's quite challenging.

I bought my GPU for 250 dollars 4 years ago and it still runs all games on high settings.

One of the most famous personal robot (Nao) uses an Intel x86 processor, which is bigger and uses more power than a Pi.
