I thought that your question was a rhetorical one and I agree to a certain degree. You can still have automatic cleanup though. Rust has RAII. The point is that I think that trading some prettyness for explicitness is a good thing in that case. But then again I also like checked exceptions (java) that seem to be disliked by most. It a similar tradeoff.
