is not exactly true. look at "Non-stop Haskell"
Simply because it adds overhead (both in runtime and code complexity), and the benefits are relatively modest.
i think that GC that don't stops the world is just a different product. even if it makes program, say, 2 times slower overall. just imagine game like Quake written in GHC ;) of course, i understand that you don't want to support one more GC architecture, just mentioned why it may matter for some people
Parallel major GC was worked on by Roshan James during his internship here this summer, and we have some working code, but it needs a lot more testing and tuning, and it may be some time before we can incorporate this into the mainline.
so it seems that it will not be included in 6.6.* ? -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
