They are not comparable to RAII, see my comment above. Even the fact it has to bifurcate into defer and errdefer suggests that it lacks the generality to replace a totalizing resource management solution.

No, they're not the same as your beloved RAII, but this isn't an object-oriented language so it doesn't have destructors. For the third time, what better solution do you propose for a non-OO language?
