That's why having no auto-destructors is a dead-end. This is the greatest mistake of such languages like Zig or Odin.

They don't play nicely with arena allocators. And arenas is what you reach for if you have clear lifetime bounds: e.g. a single request with arena never de-allocates individual objects, nukes arena when done. That gives you an easy verifiable protection against leaks, data (and cache) locality and deallocation that cost zero cpu cycles.
