Scope-Oriented Programming: A Conceptual Framework for Annotation-Free Deterministic Memory

For roughly three decades, systems programming has treated automatic memory safety as a choice between two costs: the runtime unpredictability of garbage collection, or the annotation burden of compile-time ownership systems such as borrow checking with explicit lifetimes. This d...
