Would love to see more research in this direction.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;  micro-mitten&amp;#x27;s approach is significantly different from Rust&amp;#x27;s. Rather than depending on single ownership and a complex lifetime system, micro-mitten uses a series of data-flow analyses to statically approximate heap liveness.&lt;p&gt;To be clear, Rust these days also looks at control-flow. This was what all the &amp;quot;non-lexical lifetimes&amp;quot; hubbub was about. And the next generation checker is based on datalog...</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Show HN: Micro-mitten – Research language with compile-time memory management</title><url>https://github.com/doctorn/micro-mitten</url><text>I&amp;#x27;ve been working on implementing the compile-time approach to memory management described in this thesis (https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.cl.cam.ac.uk&amp;#x2F;techreports&amp;#x2F;UCAM-CL-TR-908.pdf) for some time now - some of the performance results look promising!
