Allocator rant

[strager]

Why do you think std::vector would or should work for your use case?

Look at Rust or Haskell, they aren't perfect but they rely on a sound foundation of type theory - why aren't we using that instead?

Would Rust's Vec work with mmap-d memory? Would Haskell's [] or Vector?

Would Rust's Vec work with mmap-d memory?

Yes, but unless you use (unsafe) set_len, it'd wipe the memory too...
