You are making the exact same strawman argument as the post I was responding to. I gave a specific example of how lazy-static solves a specific problem mentioned in the paper, and as far as I can see nothing you have said refutes that.

Clearly YMMV as to whether or not you can support a kmalloc()-style API. If you can, allocators will be great for you, and if not they are worthless.

I didn't mean to imply Rust has one-size-fits-all solutions to these problems. Rust provides a lot of solutions to various problems, and it's up to you as the Rust developer to figure out which ones are applicable to your problem at hand.
