Absolute gem of a channel and guy. I'm happy that since starting my programming journey 5 years ago, I could follow along with this quite well.

Still, I'm going to read into using mmap() over malloc() for full program lifetime objects. It makes sense but it doesn't feel correct.

What do you do when you want an equivalent of free()?

Do you program professionally now or develop apps etc?

I've had to learn 95% of everything on the job over the past 4 years. I spend most of my free time trying to make apps in Haskell.

I'm currently working on a Haskell-based renderer but right now I'm building a web-based app for synchronising multiple stakeholders and providing clear chains of responsibility as learning exercises.
