It uses region typing so garbage collection is unnecessary. This is also the main thing that makes Rust an interesting tool for use cases where C/C++ would be the only viable options. Rust is a systems programming language suitable for things like kernel development or RTOS-free "bare metal" development on microcontrollers. Anyway, I'd suggest reading a bit more about how it works before dismissing it out of hand. -- Tony Arcieri
