How exactly is pre-allocation safer? If you would ever like to re-use chunks of memory, then wouldn’t you still encounter “use-after-free” bugs?

As a counter-point, package managers generate “lock files” that are designed to be tracked in VC. For these translation files, I’d imagine there may be occasional work to modify them even after they are initially generated.

"known to be incompatible" Known to whom? People who regularly participate in the Julia forum/chat? Julia's composability relies on people agreeing on unwritten rules and standards. In other languages, such incompatibili
