Andy derides the GC of a particular common lisp implementation (Allegro) and praises the GC of an implementation of a language with broadly similar semantics and data model (Ruby). The conclusion to take from that is that one CL implementation had a crappy GC, not that CL is not amenable to fast garbage collection.
