# Rust Allocators Working Group
This WG aims to:
* Define traits and other APIs for memory allocators,
with the unstable [`std::alloc::Allocator`] trait as a starting point.
* Make collections such as `Vec` able to use any allocator,
most likely through an additional type parameter.
Discussion has historically happened in (at least) [RFC #1398], [tracking issue #32838], and [tracking issue #42774].
However individual GitHub threads become hard to navigate as they get longer.
This repository’s issue tracker allows discussing and resolving various topics separately.
## Getting involved
To be notified of every issue and pull request in this repository, try GitHub’s *Watch* button.
For lower-latency discussion, we have the [`t-libs/wg-allocators`] stream on Zulip.
To try out different proposals, [Tim](https://github.com/TimDiekmann) has created a crate at [TimDiekmann/alloc-wg](https://github.com/TimDiekmann/alloc-wg). For more information on this consult the [readme](https://github.com/TimDiekmann/alloc-wg/blob/master/README.md).
