I actually did find the allocation control very interesting and useful. It seemed like something that can be so useful in the context of request/response servers. Use an allocator per request and reset it at the end. However, it alone does not compensate for all the other missing niceties. e.g. Just dealing with strings is not straightforward compared to Rust/C++.
