Rewrite of the GHC Garbage Collector
- ggm 7y agoStop-the-world costs: Love to see some discussion of consequences stemming from this.
- campfireveteran 7y agoEven though it uses an unique memory model, I'm surprised ORCA hasn't been extracted from Pony because it supposedly beats C4 and Erlang's.
- rurban 7y agoCompletely unrelated. ORCA is an actor protocol, Pony uses rust-like compile-time ensured ownership attributes and extends that to refs and copies as method arguments. GHC uses a slow and traditional non-moving mark & sweep collector, and extended that to be fully concurrent. That's still a long way to a good compacting collector.
