It is a lot of accounting work to individually allocate and deallocate a lot of objects. The Zig approach is to force you to decide on and write all of your allocation and deallocation code, which I found leads to more performant code almost by default – Rust is explicitly leaving that on the table. C obviously works the same way, but doesn't have an arena allocator in the standard library.
