    Absolutely. I have seen some pretty cool concepts in Rust for memory cleanup; not just garbage collection, but deterministic reference cycle removal by cactusref. And the fun thing about these is that you still get all of Rust's zero-cost abstractions and epic modern language design.

    I've put together a WIP PR to experiment with a safe adoption API: https://github.com/artichoke/cactusref/pull/47. This allows the doubly linked list example to be implemented in safe code without leaks. I didn't even think this was possible! Thanks for making me think!

    The best part is that it's faster than manual management. People will tell you they need do to malloc and free manually for performance, but when you actually run the numbers GC wins for a majority of use cases.
