9:20:43jackdanieltoday I've learned interesting fact -- there is a descendency line from the original ecl's gc to the java's gc. that will be included in the history manual chapter.
10:07:19aethThe answer is almost certainly no, but can it be backported?
10:09:38jackdanielthe lineage is as follows: Giuseppe Attardi implemented the GC for ECL (as part of the common language runtime), then he has ported it for other project in C++, then this C++ version was used in the first version of Java
10:09:55jackdaniel(and probably evolved from there, but could be replaced along the way)
