Is this something that is specific to the way javascript works? In my experience partial function applications create a continuation, which is a stack frame holding the captured values. Once the function completes the stack frame is discarded, so there is no allocation or GC on the heap. Is this not how Elm would be implemented on webasm and managing its own memory? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
