   Rust's ownership system constitutes a simultaneously extremely limited and very powerful form of automated memory management. In some sense, if your program compiles and you run it then most memory will get cleaned up without you having to manually free everything. In another sense, it's easy (well) to write programs which accidentally hold onto memory forever.
