Naive allocators are very easy: just subdivide RAM and defragment only when absolutely necessary (if virtual memory is unavailable). Performant allocators are hard.

I think we lost a great deal of potential when ORCA was too tied to Pony and not extracted to a framework, tool, and/or library useful outside of it such as integrated or working with LLVM.
