It is probably not a deciding factor, but if you put performance aside, 
reference counted languages can make guarantees about object 
finalization that m&s garbage collected languages cannot.

Clearly reference counts are losing the meme war and have been doing so 
for quite a while, but perhaps when we all run terahertz computers 
reference counts will come back as an implementation technique to 
simplify finalization.
