That would be ... kind of the point. If we didn't care about
the pain, we'd all
be programming using assembly. Or butterflies:

But faster performance with less pain and more safety? Yes
please. :-)
Not really. For example, no matter how much C++ code you feel
like writing, it'll be _impossible_ for you to replicate the
behavior of a GC in C++.
So it's not a matter of how much pain you're willing to go
through -- it's literally a matter of language capabilities.
