Very cool! I haven't used Odin myself, but from what I understand, it has a sort of dynamically-scoped-allocator system. How does that work in Kvist? Do you have direct control over allocators?

Thanks! Kvist uses Odin’s allocator system directly, so you retain full control over allocators. Kvist adds some syntax support, but no additional allocation layer. And you can always interop with Odin directly.
