I was quite impressed with Austral[0], which used Linear Types and avoids the whole Rust-like implementation in favour of a more easily understandable system, albeit slightly more verbose.

Austra's concept are interesting but the introduction doesn't show how to handle correctly errors in this language..


Austral's specification is one of the most beautiful and well-written pieces of documentation I have ever found. It's section on error handling in Austral[0] cover everything from rationale and alternatives to concrete examples of how exceptions should be handled in conjunction with linear types.
