C# and Java also have scoped blocks (using, try-with-resources), similar to Python for resource management.
Yeah, but it doesn't work for graphs that maintain resources, such as a scene graph which hold onto texture memory. Unfortunately, you don't want GC collection to release it either.
I think in most cases resources can either be handled by owned pointers or a regional GC (in this case a GC that only trace SceneNodePointers).
