Is there any interest in generational garbage collection in Python these days ?
Anyone working on it ?
This is the time machine at work: the garbage collector in CPython *is*
generational (with three generations).

I'm lost there. Isn't CPython using reference counting (i.e updating the
object's state at each reference creation/deletion, and deleting the
objects as soon as they have no more references to them) ? It seemed to
me that generational GC only applied to periodic GCs, like tracing
garbage collectors. Or is CPython using a mix of both technologies (to
prevent cycles for example) ?
