Core Concepts

Memory Management

• Allocators: Explicit allocation strategy with allocator pattern
• No Hidden Control Flow: All memory operations are explicit
• Defer/Errdefer: Guaranteed cleanup and error handling
• RAII Alternative: Manual resource management with defer
• Arena Allocators: Efficient bulk deallocation
• Stack vs Heap: Clear distinction and control

Comptime Metaprogramming
