Any languages doing anything interesting with allocators?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/ProgrammingLanguages

  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • zig

    General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  • Zig has custom and explicit allocators (explicit means there should be no hidden allocations).

  • bumpalo

    A fast bump allocation arena for Rust

  • This is useful with crates like bumpalo which give you bump-allocation arenas whose lifetimes are tied to the objects they allocate.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • scoped-arena

    Discontinued Arena allocator with scopes

  • The scoped-arena crate is a pretty interesting use of Rust too!

  • MoarVM

    A VM with adaptive optimization and JIT compilation, built for Rakudo

  • This is (yet another) very un(der)documented Raku feature (over a decade after it was introduced!), but one can browse what looks to me like reasonably clean and commented C89 code implementing 47 representations in the relevant MoarVM directory.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
