Hey fellow Rustaceans! 🦀

About a week ago, I posted about crabtime — a new way of writing Rust macros.

I was honestly thrilled by how well it was received. However, a few comments caught my special attention. So I decided to continue the joke. Ladies and gentlemen, I present craturn, a crate inspired by the Saturn Devouring His Son painting, except Saturn is your program, and the son is its own heap.

What is craturn?

craturn is a joke global allocator that:

• behaves perfectly normally at first,
• compiles cleanly,
• causes no immediate crashes,
• and then, slowly and nondeterministically eats your heap from the inside.

Sometimes nothing happens.
Sometimes a bit flips.
Sometimes a Vec forgets math.
Sometimes a String forgets letters.
Sometimes everything is fine... until it very much isn’t.

This crate exists for:

• jokes,
• demos,
• and terrifying coworkers.
