For context, the "allocator engineer" I was talking to was a kernel engineer - they have an extremely solid grasp of their platform's architecture.

The whole advantage of being the platform's system allocator is that you can have a tighter relationship between the library function and the kernel implementation.

I’m not generally aware of any system allocator that’s written hand in glove with the kernel’s allocator or somehow interops better for overall system efficiency at the cost of behavior in-app. Care to provide an example?
