It's beyond my ken. The last I heard about the precise GC was in a recent post here from Jeremy DeHaan [1]. BTW, if anyone has anything they'd like to contribute to the GC series, I'm more than willing to discuss it. [1] http://forum.dlang.org/post/tlrmxljghxcvxbyrq...@forum.dlang.org

This one is a basic introduction. Great post, and the title is gold. Looking forward to the next installments so I learn new things myself, and of course a good reference in this "GC is bad" debate.
