Thanks for letting me know. Don't know if it will be solved as that's
a problem in my view.
I was going to say that you could implement a garbage collector in/for
Rust, but first I checked if there was a crate for one, and sure
enough, there is: https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-gc/ for those
occasions when you really need a garbage collector. It’s in
development, but looks pretty usable.

This isn't a issue that can be solved by a garbage collector which are
notoriously for having
these leaks but something like a unsafe mode with something similar to
weak_ptr in C++.
Not sure what the unsafe Rust implementation would would do but its a
outstanding
issue if you assume that memory has a non circular owner,
