摘要：This episode of Drill Bits presents a new persistent memory allocator that enables a new capability for scripting languages. The new allocator is suitable for serious use, yet it is more concise and simpler than most alternatives. The new capability is transparent on-demand persistence for interpreted scripts with zero effort from script authors. Persistent memory allocation and persistent scripting demonstrate, at two very different software layers, that the right interfaces multiply programmer impact by leveraging mountains of existing software and hardware. Both the new persistent memory allocator and a persistent script interpreter that uses it are available as open-source software.
