Realistically none of the commonly used systems languages have a mechanism to recover from memory exhaustion. Some pretend to, but if you actually try to use them, yeeeeech The big missing features (from my perspective) are fixed-size arrays, placement allocation, and the ability to guarantee that no allocations or refcount operations occur in a marked critical section. There’s a lot of other stuff I would like to have, but those are the things I can’t live without.
