Hybrid RC and GC #29

Closed nordlow closed 10 months ago

nordlow commented 10 months ago

Have you looked into V's memory model? If not it might be of interest to you.

Have you thought about having an optional manual GC pass that can collect RC cycles? IRC, that's what V does.

If you preload Boehm, that's exactly what you get! :)

Personally, I simply haven't run into any cycles yet. I suspect the threat of cycles is overrated.
