I can't think of a use for such a low level language other than OS programming, low level library writing and maybe game programming (just because they has to be fast).
For normal programming there's hardly anything OTHER than ancient primitive languages which can have buffer overrun problems, executing the stack problems etc.
For the most part I'm not interested in a language without a full gc. I'd rather deal with gc problems by having a good incremental, parallel gc, or even some attempt at a real-time-ish one. Or even an advanced one that can handle huge data sets by collecting long lived data in independent blocks in parallel with minor gc. Ie garbage collection is so hard that it's rarely done well, but that doesn't mean that it should be thrown out.
