For (2) Virgil has several features that allow you to layout memory with various levels of control. I assume you meaning "array of structs", and you can do that with arrays of tuples, which will naturally be flattened and normalized based on the target (i.e. will be array-of-structs on native targets). You can define byte-exact layouts[1] (mostly for interfacing with other software and parsing binary formats), unbox ADTs, and soon you can even control the exact encoding of ADTs.
Virgil is GC'd.
