Nothing worse than fixing a memory leak in NodeJs. UGH!

a real devRant worthy rant!
So what happened and how?

Not fixing it?

@heyheni Its a streaming issue, we have audio data being streamed into NodeJs for some processing. I have being monitoring it with the devtools and the heap memory seems to be stable. It releases the data after a stream is over. BUT somehow, there is a native memory leak. The overall node process still keeps the memory and does not release it! :(

@electrineer Have to! But im lost!

Fix a bug in XTerm.

Locks, file handles, and streams, oh my!

Monitor using internal counters - external tools will not help tracking down who holds the memory.
Smart Money is on the audio native lib keeping its buffers alive.

These are the kinds of node JS rants I wanna see. Keep us updated 👌
