  • if they’re proposing it as a C stdlib-adjacent method (given they’re saying it should be an alternative to malloc [memory allocate]) it absolutely should be lowercase. plus is redundant because you just append the extra functionality to the name by concatenating it to the original name. mallocai [memory allocate ai] feels wrong, so ai should be first.

    if this method idea wasn’t an abomination in and of itself that’s how it would probably be named. it currently looks straight out of Java. and at that point why are we abbreviating malloc. why not go the distance and say largeLanguageModelQueryingMemoryAllocator
