Implementing a safe garbage collector in Rust.
In my last post I introduced an Emacs Lisp VM I was writing in Rust. My stated goal at the time was to complete a garbage collector.

Many of the techniques used in my GC are not original and have been developed by other Rustaceans in previous projects.
Why use garbage collection? virtually all non-trivial programs need some way to reuse memory.
