@cda@macaw.social i sort of wrote libarcmem as the killer for all this: shareable offset pointers. meaning you can slice strings and also share the slices. and then prepend or append to them and use them as dynamic arrays again. all type free.

@lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place oh interesting! I was toying with supporting slices. Thought only briefly about a special allocator just for strings or not...or schemes like un-special allocation but manage chunk-sized allocations sort of like gap-buffers so prepending and appending strings is free-or-cheap within some bounds.
