Hi, I'm just starting a (long) PhD in computer music languages, and one of my hoped-for projects is improving the GC for the Scheme implementation I work in for soft realtime use. If you (or anyone else) wouldn't mind sharing suggestion on resources for learning about low-latency modern GCs, it would be most appreciated. :-)

You can look at the SGCL garbage collector for C++: https://github.com/pebal/sgcl. It works in a separate thread, is locks-free and never stops the world.

read the garbage collection handbook - https://gchandbook.org/

thanks, that's good to know. I'm working through his first GC book right now and plan to order the new edition of the gchandbook when I'm done the other (which I read was a gentler intro to the topic).
