Advanced Memory Management in Vale (with Evan Ovadia)

April 17, 2024 1:09:31 100.11 MB Downloads: 0

Rust changed the discussion around memory management - this week's guest hopes to push that discussion even further.

This week we're joined by Evan Ovadia, creator of the Vale programming language and collector of memory management techniques from far and wide. He takes us through his most important ones, including linear types, generation references and regions, to see what Evan hopes the future of memory management will look like.

If you've been interested in Rust's borrow-check and want more (or want different!) then Evan has some big ideas for you to sink your teeth into.
