- smalloc v7.6.3 is up! github.com/zooko/smallo... smalloc is a very simple, fast memory allocator. The core Rust implementation is only 349 lines of code.
- Cool stuff. `cargo add smmalloc --rename smalloc` oof this is going to be confusing to tell others about 😬 Sounds like something particularly well suited for rust wasm crates, right?
- Ah, just seeing this in the readme to-do section: > turns out web browsers still limit the virtual memory space to 16 GiB even after the new improved memory model, which kills smalloc in wasm in the web browser. What a shame! But non-web-browser-hosted WASM could still maybe use smalloc...
- I was wondering if wasm runtimes do virtual memory well.Feb 1, 2026 21:25
