Ada has RAII via controlled types and allows for memory pools.

Also Ada allows for compiler assisted runtime allocation. For example, you can declare a datastructure with the size you want, and if it fits the stack it will be allocated, otherwise you get an exception.

Deallocation C style requires the Uncheked_Deallocation package.

Ada 95 removed GC from the standard, as no compiler ever bothered to implement it.

Here is an overview presented at FOSDEM 2016.

With SPARK and Ada 2012, Ada allows for better security constraints than Rust.
