Beyond Zero-Allocation
The journey of building the Fidelity Framework has taught us that meaningful changes require careful conceptual positioning alongside technical innovation. When we first introduced the design of Firefly’s zero-allocation compilation capabilities, we established a foundational principle that continues to guide our architectural decisions: functional programming should compile to efficient native code without runtime dependencies. Today, we want to explore how this foundation extends naturally into our roadmap for memory management, and is consistent with the core principles that make Fidelity unique.
