Implementing GC rarely seems as simple as "reading the literature" and implementing the algorithms they tell you. One problem is that you're working with an existing code base, and you can't afford to make mistakes in your GC. Sure, there are plenty of (good) GC algorithms out there that are public knowledge, but implementing it alone may be difficult, implementing it efficiently is another order of magnitude more-so.
