=== RAII and Resource Handling ===

Java and Scala do not have deterministic destructors due to automatic garbage collection. Java has a

<code>finalize()</code> method in <code>Object</code>, but introduced [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56139760/why-is-the-finalize-method-deprecated-in-java-9 problems] and were deprecated. Java classes holding non-heap resources should provide a close method, as well as lean on [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/lang/ref/Cleaner.html Cleaner] and [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/AutoCloseable.html Autoclosable] to implement safe resource release.

For Scala, the best resource-management mechanism seems to be a library [https://github.com/jsuereth/scala-arm scala-arm].
