The proposed C defer is scope-based unlike Go. So in the spirit of OP article, you can basically hand roll not only C++ destructor as defer {obj.dtor()} but also Rust Drop as defer {obj.notmoved() ? Drop()}

What do you mean defer isn't scope based in Go?

(not super experienced Go developer)

In Go, defers are function scoped not block scoped.

I mean, you just write all your scopes as `(func() { })()` in go, and it works out fine.

Adding `func() {}()` scopes won't break existing code usually, though if you use 'break' or 'continue' you might have to make some changes to make it compile, like so:

see, no other issues, works exactly like you'd expect

[DanielHB]

Right, that makes more sense.
