This is a great list of influences on the design (from the article comments where the prototype author Sam Gross responded to someone wishing for more cross pollination across language communities): ————— "… but I'll give a few more examples specific to this project of ideas (or code) taken from other communities: - Biased reference counting (originally implemented for Swift) - mimalloc (originally developed for Koka and Lean) - The design of the internal locks is taken from WebKit (https://webkit.org/blog/6161/locking-in-webkit/ https://webkit.org/blog/6161/locking-in-webkit/) - The collection thread-safety adapts some code from FreeBSD (https://github.com/colesbury/nogil/blob/nogil/Python/qsbr.c https://github.com/colesbury/nogil/blob/nogil/Python/qsbr.c) - The interpreter took ideas from LuaJIT and V8's ignition interpreter (the register-accumulator model from ignition, fast function calls and other perf ideas from LuaJIT) - The stop-the-world implementation is influenced by Go's design (https://github.com/golang/go/blob/fad4a16fd43f6a72b6917eff656be27522809074/src/runtime/proc.go#L1154-L1230 https://github.com/golang/go/blob/fad4a16fd43f6a72b6917eff65... )"
