How would lifetimes work? Java & al get away with it because they don't reify lifetimes and the concepts of reference and value are moved at the type level (and they don't use affine types).

From looking at research languages with similar systems (Mezzo, LinearML...) none of them seem to have pointer noise. I might be missing something though.
