It's pretty trivial to create a struct which uses malloc and
free to create a
dynamic array of the exact size that you want with
deterministic destruction,
and you can easily overload the indexing and slicing operators
- though
clearly, as if with static arrays, you'd have to be careful
with slices being
passed around, since they're not owned by the GC. And I'm not
sure what would
happen if you were foolish enough to try and append to them.
Personally though, I wish that the length of static arrays
could be set at
runtime and don't really understand why you can't (aside from
the fact that
you can't in standard C - gcc will let you though).

Yeah, but it's inconvenient to use a struct instead of a built in
solution. ;)
