This is exciting for me because I really enjoyed the work I
did during the last GSoC, so I'm hoping to learn more about
garbage collection and contribute to D's garbage collector
more in the future.
What's the status of that work with respect to the D main line?
Last I checked there's this
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1603 which is just
hanging.
The precise GC is going to continue to hang until it can be
tweaked to be as fast or faster than the conservative GC we have
now.
Me working on it has effectively stalled because school takes up
much of my time and I'm still pretty lacking in experience with
garbage collection. That's pretty much why I'm doing the study.
