This is amazing!! I had no idea this was possible!

One point of feedback: not having worked with memmap before, it is not immediately obvious to me which hex means what (I am guessing RANGE@START? ). Would be nice to have a link to an explanation there.

I am definitely sharing this, thank you for writing the blog!

Thank you! Do you think Chimera will replace Alpine as the favorite for container base images? Mimalloc sounds great!

How is Chimera Linux different from Alpine? Seems very similar (apk, no GNU, musl, lightweight)

But VirtualBox is not a good idea either.

Maybe not for Python, but if the database project they’re contributing to relies heavily on modified system libraries, it can be useful to isolate those from your host. Using either a VM or a container can do that.
