Well, ended up taking 100 eur of that debt this morning. My account had jumped to negatives and the bank had already started billing it due to this. And I needed to buy meds, had run out.

Shinmera: I finished everything from my TODO list at work. Had nothing to do but run tests for last few hours so I ended up starting to code my own garbage collector. :U

Shoulda worked on Trial instead

I'm not supposed to work on my personal projects during paid time. So I just code something that I find to be educative.

But gosh darn, the medication I bought cost 60+ euros.

How is working on Trial issues not educative?

Last I knew you didn't really know much about modern GL or the things you were working on

Sure, but that's not something that's particularly useful at work. While understanding garbage collectors is quite generic knowledge.

Don't need to implement one to understand it

I'd think the opposite

The algorithms and ideas behind GC are very simple. The implementation thereof on the other hand is messy and complicated.

I'm just doing a prototype, making a good, solid one would take ages.

What kind? Just a basic mark & sweep, I hope

At first. And then I see if I can make something neat like tracking how long certain blocks are used

Though I have no plans beyond mark and sweep, to be honest
