Stephen Dolan is the author of jq.

Found thanks to this tweet [0]: > "A 32-bit integer is currently represented as a 64-bit pointer to a sequence of three 64-bit words. There’s a header, ... the fact that it is a 32-bit integer, and ... the 32-bit integer expanded to fill 64 bits."

apart from the above it is full of interesting comments about memory management in general and specifically about Rust and Ocaml
