The JVM has two primary functions: to allow Java programs to run on any device or operating system (known as the "write once, run anywhere" principle), and to manage and optimize program memory. When Java was released in 1995, all computer programs were written to a specific operating system, and program memory was managed by the software developer. It's not hard to see why the JVM was a revelation in that era.

The first step involved launching the chatbot server with a MemorySaver checkpointer to persist the bot's state between interactions, allowing it to remember user details.

Larger memory page sizes can impact memory efficiency and performance, potentially leading to less efficient memory use if pages are not fully utilized.

Zig is a "close to the metal" language in that it allows developers to work directly with system memory, a requirement for writing code that can be maximally optimized to its task.

When you're writing your first Rust programs, the complexities of ownership and borrowing can be dizzying. If all you want to do is write a simple program that doesn't need to be performant, Rust's memory management might seem intrusive.
