Enter The Arena: Simplifying Memory Management (Talk)

This is a video of a talk I did in August 2023, aiming to teach the concepts described in Untangling Lifetimes: The Arena Allocator, in a different format, with greater and more concrete detail.

The small sample program—along with many other projects and examples, all built using arenas as the core memory management primitive—is included in the Digital Grove codebase, which is available to paid subscribers. You can subscribe below:

I hope it helps to better communicate some of the ideas I’ve written about. If you enjoy the talk, please consider subscribing. Thanks for watching.
