Sure, so can we maintain acyclic data structures (as in Erlang, as I
understand) with smart pointers in order to eliminate most *manual* memory
management and to write in such a style as coding in Erlang?

In general maybe using value types, i.e. stack-allocated wrappers for
heap-allocated memory (e.g. smart pointers), can help in such coding style?
