It's very basic and not a general solution because the lifetimes of objects are now set equal. And there's no compaction, so from a space perspective it is worse than a heap where the space of deleted objects can be filled up by new objects. It is nice though that you can delete an entire class of objects in one operation. I have used this type of memory management in the context of web requests, where the space could be freed when the request was done.
