Hi, I’ve been working on a new allocator for zig. My benchmarks are looking pretty good, but it’s not ready for prime time just yet. Before that I would like to throw the allocator into a bunch of real world projects to see how it stands up to the smp allocator, and tune it further as necessary.

So concretely, if you know of a real project that tracks zig master (or is fairly easy to upgrade) or otherwise know of some good ways to get real world workloads please mention them here :‍)
