From the README:

> Memory safety with RAII patterns

I'm curious to see how they achieve RAII in Zig, which doesn't have destructors. If they mean defer + deinit methods, that's not the same thing.

Zig is all about making things explicit. Destructors are hidden code. I presume there will be an application level tracking of lifetime.
