Demo: Tracking Gen:0 Allocations
We introduce the Pig-Latinifier demo project, which instruments every string allocation through a thread-safe counter to measure generation 0 object allocations. The lesson walks through deliberately inefficient code that converts every character to a string and uses repeated string concatenation, producing 187 heap allocations per conversion.
