gollark: Apparently.
gollark: ?charinfo ⎕
gollark: Hmm, maybe I am to learn how to use `mmap` and other fun syscalls, for osmarksmalloc™.
gollark: I was confused and thought they meant *total* memory allocated or something. If it was just the size of the allocation it would... make sense, but probably be bee in various ways.
gollark: I could even implement an optimization in case your code is cool and frees many things, to prevent RAM overmetahyperuse.
