Can someone explain the weird phrasing here "Nothing moves, so references survive growth" that AI does.
Almost all languages rely on reallocation when a growable array grows, which means you can't store pointers to elements, as they get invalidated upon a reallocation.

In Goose, things grow in-place only, since they have a large amount of address space reserved.

no i mean literally the sentence structure
with the context the creator just gave, this isn't actually a bad sentence, it just lacked, well, context.
