Thanks for the link.
Article makes it look like nothing happened in the embed/low-memory/single-threaded malloc space in decades since Doug Lea's malloc.
I just implemented TLSF for my minimal Wasm libc: fragmentation is just as good, performance is a lot more consistent (and on average better), for a significant reduction in code size.

A great idea for another article. A focus, on embedded and malloc()
I do do have a malloc() benchmark but it is in bad shape and directories have not coalesce nicely yet, tor a single run or a menu-driven one.
