FORGET BORROW CHECKERS: C3 SOLVED MEMORY LIFETIMES WITH SCOPES
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
The C3 language has a Temp allocator, a region-based memory management system that simplifies memory handling. This allocator automatically resets when execution leaves its scope, preventing memory leaks without needing manual cleanup or garbage collection. By tying memory lifetimes to scopes, C3 is able to have efficient, performant memory management without the complexity of traditional methods like reference counting.
