Is now a good time to add some valgrind tests for the new compiler? It's always best to add these things early. I know zig allocators can prevent issues as well, but maybe we should still test with valgrind? Please share your wisdom, experienced zig programmers :)

Yeah, zigs gpa in debug mode should cache a ton of things, but it never hurts to test with valgrind as well
