Can someone explain the weird phrasing here "Nothing moves, so references survive growth" that AI does.

Almost all languages rely on reallocation when a growable array grows, which means you can't store pointers to elements, as they get invalidated upon a reallocation.

In Goose, things grow in-place only, since they have a large amount of address space reserved.
