  "Wow" as in "why doesn't Ruby have that already" or as in "parallelism will be great"? :-)

    When we say "Ruby" doesn't have parallel GC we're really just talking about MRI cRuby. Both the JRuby and TruffleRuby implemenations have had parellel GC for a very long time. I think Peter Zhu work on cRuby has been brilliant here and is really appreciated.
