      Would love to get added under the Infrastructure category!

      We’re a bootstrapped SaaS startup: packagecloud.io trying to be the best and easiest to use package repository for a variety of languages and platforms, such as Redhat/Debian, Rubygems, Java/Scala/Clojure, and Python. We have a Unified API across all of your packages and repositories, with libraries available for most languages.

      Thanks in advance!

              Writing a simple (read: shitty) malloc/free implementation is a great way to learn about memory management/pointers in C

                It would be cool to replace the Lua allocator with the simple one and run the benchmarks game on it, comparing it to the built in allocator.
