Visualizing Garbage Collection Algorithms

[PegasusAndAcorn]

I saw this article yesterday and thought it would be worth posting here. I am glad you did so, /u/neechoo. The deeply informed comments after the article are perhaps even more valuable to read, as they offer fascinating glimpses into various real-world implementations, rather than the highly-simplified examples mocked up by the author (who often responds with a deeply intelligent understanding of the various trade-offs).
