I'm not really interested in changing anything else at the moment. I am just
looking to see if I can commission the implementation of a state-of-the-art
GC and plug it into ocaml. Naturally, like anyone, I have my own ideas about
how to correctly optimize dynamic memory allocation but I can take ocaml's
idea, that of using two heaps and go with it. So, oc4mc was successful in
decoupling after all? I need to go back and take a look at the source again.
It's getting complicated quickly :)
