Dear all,

I just had an excellent time listening to the last Signals and Threads podcast episode on [Memory Management](https://signalsandthreads.com/memory-management/), with Stephen Dolan (@stedolan) as the guest and Yaron Minsky (@Yaron_Minsky) as the host discussing:

- memory management in programming languages in general
- memory management in OCaml
- ongoing research by Stephen and Leo White (@lpw25) on memory-management and data-representation features for OCaml (unboxed types, local values on the stack).

The link [https://signalsandthreads.com/memory-management/](https://signalsandthreads.com/memory-management/) contains both the audio and a full text transcript.

I would warmly recommend giving it a try if you are interested in programming language implementation. There is new stuff to learn for everyone, and I also liked the presentation of the parts I was already familiar with.
