2024-11-21 - Writing a mark-and-sweep tracing GC in Rust: Mark-and-sweep garbage collection of unreachable objects

2024-07-24 - Crafting Interpreters with Rust: On Garbage Collection | ltungv: I became interested in implementing programming languages a few years ago and discovered [Crafting Interpreters](https://craftinginterpreters.com/) by Bob Nystrom. At the time, I had experience with Rust and decided to use it to follow the book. Albeit, being a noob, I managed to implement a fully functional bytecode interpreter that supported every feature of the Lox language as described. However, my implementation suffered memory leaks due to reference counting. Back then, I didn't fully grasp Rust to design and implement a proper garbage collector (GC)! Now that I have more confidence in the language, I decided to revisit the project and improve its memory management scheme.
