This is slightly OT ... but I&#39;m trying to write a scheme -&gt; C compiler, in gambit, so forgive me. :-)<br><br>What are good papers / tutorials on _real world_ garbage collectors? I&#39;m interested in things slightly more complicated than the Mark &amp; Sweep / Copying garbage collectors found in SICP. Generational / soft real time seem more interesting to me; but I&#39;m rather than reading academic papers or some guy&#39;s rant, I&#39;d like something along the lines of &quot;I built _popular system X_; and here&#39;s the GC we used; these are the tradeoffs we made; and this is why we made them.&quot;<br>
<br>Thanks!<br>
