CppCon 2015: Andrei Alexandrescu “std::allocator...”

Andrei Alexandrescu's CppCon 2015 talk argues that std::allocator is badly designed. He proposes building high-performance allocators from small composable, templated pieces.
HN repeatedly recommends it as an entertaining, mind-opening talk on allocator design and composable generic programming.
