Interesting exploration of an easy to introduce memory leak in frontend code.

At last some interesting tooling for profiling memory usage of web frontends. Clearly this is very early days though, this will get more interesting as the tooling makes progress. Some of the numbers in the benchmarks they came up with in this article are very scary though.

Interesting piece covering: how a memory allocator works, why it can be slow, how to use it the best way possible and how to pick an allocator for your project.
