Re:Rust RAII is better than the Haskell bracket pattern by pcwalton on Tuesday October 09, 2018 @02:21PM (#18178474)
Not in Rust, and not in any language where you can put resources in objects with shared ownership (i.e. any remotely popular general purpose language).

Throwing exceptions isn't a particularly good solution either, for the same reason. Exceptions are hard to reliably handle when you can't easily reason about where they will be thrown from.
