[MUD-Dev] [Tech] Garbage collection

[Brian Hook]

I've been doing some more research into garbage collection lately
and I'm trying to get a feel for what the current major MUD
languages/engines use for garbage collection.

My gut instinct is that a vanilla mark-and-sweep probably isn't
acceptable because of hitches, so either most are using explicit
memory management (doubtful), ref-counting (likely), or an
incremental collector (complicated).

Anyone have any data or pointers on this?

Thanks,

Brian
