15:19:21 bike i really wish the whippet code had a worked example with tagged pointers. oh well

15:19:50 bike i think i know how to do it, but it means a race condition in the trace code. that seems bad, but is anything else even running during a gc? I don't think so

15:20:18 bike actually i guess i can just check the tag earlier and not worry about it

15:28:07 bike mmnope that still doesn't really work

19:12:45 bike whippet is stop the world but doesn't actually force all threads to stop, so if you have a repl waiting for input, other threads can't collect. i wonder if there's a smarter way to handle that

19:13:43 bike if we're in a cond wait or something we pretty much need to get a signal to wake up

19:21:00 bike also, jesus, a dumb scheme interpreter can cons a lot.

19:21:24 bike don't think i can use this as a comparison with clasp. there's no way we gc this much.
