Although C++ can be ugly, one reason I keep going back to it rather then commit more time to reference-based languages like C# is because I like deterministic destruction so much.

You may also find http://wiki.dlang.org/Memory_Management useful. It shows a number of different patterns one can employ for deterministic memory management. The one which you'll probably find most C++-like is http://wiki.dlang.org/Memory_Management#Explicit_Class_Instance_Allocation
