That's a unique feature of Ur that it does not provide gc for speed
reason. HTML generation operates on a chunk of memory - if it is too
small the request starts from scratch.

However you can use alloc interfacing with C - you still don't have a
garbage collector.

AFAIK storage happens outside of ur.
You can try the experimental ruby support .. but that would somewhat
defeat the purpose of urweb

Again you may want to wait for additional more accurate replies.
