Reference-counting GC's in most LISPs are pretty much a thing of the
past. Between needing to do cycle detection and having to lock the
reference counters in concurrent environments, they just lose to many
ways. Generational garbage collectors were big last time I
looked. Given todays large address spaces, DDI might even be
acceptable again.
