Does idiomatic C++ do heap allocations with malloc then?

Idiomatic C++ would allocate everything possible on the stack, and if that wasn't possible, use `make_shared`/`make_unique`. So maybe I will change it to say "doesn't use `new` directly".

No. Idiomatic C++ allocates everything at compile time by means of template metaprogramming magic (just joking).

No that is D and it is with CTFE. Also joking... mostly.
