Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it

What Hacker News says?
There's an interesting example of resource management in Haskell with monads [1], but it's probably not easy to follow if you aren't already steeped in Haskell lore, so let me be a bit more basic. First, note also that it would not be particularly hard to add RAII on top of a garbage-collected language to coexist with GC for resource management; it's just not done in practice. And it's not because language designers…
