See this issue: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/30653#issuecomment...

Memory leak. As explained, it's not really Julia's fault.

This I also found amazing: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/28726 . It took 4 hours to go from bug report about bad compiler code generation to a patch.

It seems that Julia is simply discovering the effects of memory fragmentation and the corresponding glibc malloc tunables.

I have commented with some details there:
