A pull request to the D runtime was my final milestone. I was
ready at the beginning of February, but I started to
procrastinate. I’d had no previous communication with any of
the reviewers and I was timorous about engaging with them. I
spent a lot of time refactoring my code back and forth and
delaying my pull request. At a certain point, I even considered
abandoning the final milestone and providing the GC as a
library. In the meantime, Rainer Scheutze published a threaded
implementation of the mark phase that reduced the mark time in
the GC and I lost faith in my project.

at the dconf I had the possibility to talk about this with many
people and I think that so far we are witnessing major
improvements regarding the GSOC students.
