I don't have time to pursue this, but as a person who works in the field: The SLIMalloc papers are completely free of important details, and no one I know working in the field believes it can actually do all the things it claims to do with the performance characteristics described, and the writing about it in those papers strongly suggests the author has no idea what's going on. It seems really weird to have these strong sweeping claims that precisely duplicate the claims from the papers published to promote the thing, but that have no sources other than the promotional material from the authors or things derived from them. This seems highly suspicious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiseebs ( talk • contribs) 01:30, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
Some of the sentences in the "security vulnerabilities" section are incoherent, others are just wrong. For example, a stack overflow is nothing like a buffer overflow, despite the vague note about them being "similar". I'll clean it up when I get a moment. Just thought I'd make a record of it here for now. 86.128.230.251 ( talk) 22:51, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

The article only states that most high-level languages use tracing garbage collection to avoid memory safety problems. We should mention that some languages, like Rust, use static analysis to fix the problem without having to rely on garbage collection. Munksgaard ( talk) 10:20, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

This article is extremely short, and the subject itself is a multidimensional whopper. As such this article should be marked as a stub. The fact that there is only one mention of Rust before getting to the article citations is solid evidence that this is a stub. This article is highly incomplete and in serious need of being fleshed out. Comiscuous ( talk) 01:48, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
