Some interesting things that would be interesting to add to this:

- thread safety ( not too hard to add on top of your liked list) - variable sized allocations. Ideally something more akin to malloc. Could be done wastefully by rounding up to the nearest chunk size - (as mentioned in the article) variable chunk sizes - zeroing of memory before handing it back to users - double free detection or even better full asan support



I don't currently have much experience with thread safety, but it's something I should look into. Thank you.
