No real programming languages contain garbage collection, with the exception of LISP, as far as I know. Garbage collection is common in script languages (like Java) though.
What do you mean Java is a "script language"? C# is basically C++ with garbage collection.
Java is compiled to object code, which then is run by the JVM. It's not direct source code -> executable, so it's considered a scripting language.
Wikipedia states, "Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled)." This does not imply that all interpreted languages are scripting languages. It certainly doesn't imply Java isn't a "real" programming language.

JavaScript is a scripting language, and I will reasonably assume PatrikLundell knows the difference between Java and JavaScript.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.
