I'm not aware of the GC progress. Generational with compacting young and mark-sweep old has been around since Smalltalk irrc. Was it making it concurrent?

- hinkley 9y agoEvery issue of SIGPLAN in the late nineties had a new paper on improvements or alternatives to generational collectors. Off the top of my head, page marking, to reduce old generation collection, then we had pretenuring and that expanded into escape analysis in 99 or the '00s Superpipelining interpreters and inlining polymorphic dispatch are some of my favorites for the '00s.
- naasking 9y agoThe first cycle collectors for reference counting too, so backup tracing wasn't required.
