I have been enjoying the recent discussion of GC vs refcounting. Thanks.
While you're rehashing/justifying sensible design decisions made years ago ;-) I was wondering why you decided to roll-your-own GC rather than use an established one e.g. Hans Boehm's.
I ask this not because I have any criticisms of your decision but rather that I have been using this GC in a number of other projects (including a small programming language) and would be interested in why it was rejected for Parrot (I assume it *was* considered even fleetingly).
Is there something important I should know about it?
