Nothing that has hit the mainstream like Rust. To my knowledge, Rust's lifetimes take influence from a language called Cyclone.

Cyclone I believe (has been a while) used region based inference like MLKit I mentioned. I'm not sure off hand if Cyclone was influenced by MLKit or the other way around. Cool tech, but Rust took it to the next level by making it pure compile time.
