 ## Memory management
 
 Values returned from the API (meshes, bit sets, settings, result objects, …) hold
-WebAssembly memory that the JavaScript garbage collector does not reclaim. Call
-`.delete()` on them when you are done to avoid leaks.
+WebAssembly memory that the JavaScript garbage collector does not reclaim, so each one
+must be freed explicitly.
+
+The preferred way is JavaScript's explicit resource management: declare a handle with
+`using` and it is freed automatically when its scope ends — even if an exception is thrown.
+
+```js
+using mesh = ml.Mesh.fromTriangles(coords, tris);
+// ... use mesh; it is freed at the end of this scope
+```
+
+When the number of handles is dynamic (for example built in a loop), collect them in a
+`DisposableStack`, which frees everything it holds, in reverse order, at the end of the scope:
+
+```js
+using stack = new DisposableStack();
+for (const path of inputPaths) {
+  const cloud = stack.use(ml.PointsLoad.fromAnySupportedFormat(path));
+  // ... use cloud
+}
+// every handle passed to stack.use(...) is freed here
+```
+
+`using` and `DisposableStack` are part of JavaScript's Explicit Resource Management,
+available in Node.js 24+ and current browsers. On older runtimes and browsers, call
+`.delete()` on each object when you are done instead:
+
+```js
+const mesh = ml.Mesh.fromTriangles(coords, tris);
+// ... use mesh
+mesh.delete();
+```
+
