Really? Seriously?

  I think the guy has a good point. GC is a relatively obscure area, with few people having expertise in it. This, plus the fact that the number of Rubyists who also know C (and know C well enough to work on the GC) is very small, doesn't help the current situation. The Ruby GC is also extremely tied to the VM implementation, making it generally very hard to hack on. I made the Ruby garbage collector copy-on-write friendly several years ago.
