You can learn a lot developing a language and runtime but you will reach a point when you'll realize you can go back and do it all better.

Flashbacks to when I implemented a new storage system for a Lisp/Prolog system while porting the core code from Pascal to C. We stuck with linked list of pages so we could keep pointers and gain some speed over array indexing for every object access.

I don’t know too much about this, but strictly based on the name I assumed that you should use a heap. Is that not right?
