There are plenty of people who use RAII with arenas for nested group of objects.
Bloomberg for example had a strong focus on that, and they enhanced the allocator model quite significantly to be able to standardize this. This was the reason for stateful allocators, scoped allocators, uses-allocator construction and polymorphic memory resources.
Are you sure? It seems as though ultimately Microsoft's STL for example ends up calling std::allocator's allocate function which uses the new operator.
The main problem if you're roaming is that you're considered a lower-priority customer, and since the network is often saturated already, you don't get any bandwidth.
VG10 edge retention isn't that amazing in my experience, and it's harder to sharpen than carbon steel. Burr feels gummy rather than crisp, and carbon steel goes as high as 65 HRC vs 62 for VG10.
It's sad that the market is flooded with high-performance stainless steels which are inherently worse and more expensive, just because the average person is afraid of rust and knife maintenance.
Yeah, My kitchen knives were once auto leaf springs. Soak 'em in the olive oil after use to keep the rust down (the knives, not the leaf springs). Arrr.
