    Pretty much all high level languages do because they’re already designed around automatic memory management.

      Yeah, Rust is a special case because it handles almost everything at compile time. It also doesn’t rely on garbage collecting like the majority of modern high level languages.

        Swift also handles everything at compile time, using automatic reference counting. It is also in general faster then c++ in the benchmarking I’ve done for work where we are considering incrementally replacing c++ with it. (Benchmarking was focused on very language-standard code, NOT hand-optimized code focusing on getting every last ounce of speed out).
