This is a blog post about the garbage collection framework MMTk and my experience implementing it into our own Rust-based intepreters. We talk about Rust a lot here, but we forgo a lot of its guarantees, for better or for worse, but definitely for performance. To be clear, these are research projects and not production systems.| Octave Larose
In my last post I introduced an Emacs Lisp VM I was writing in Rust. My stated goal at the time was to complete a garbage collector. I think Rust has some really interesting properties that will make building garbage collectors easier and safer. Many of the techniques used in my GC are not original and have been developed by other Rustaceans in previous projects. Updated: 2022-09-06 Why use garbage collection?| coredumped.dev
