But  it is Chinese.

Great post, and the title is gold. Looking forward to the next 
installments so I learn new things myself, and of course a good 
reference in this "GC is bad" debate.

Whenever the GC comes up, I wonder about the "conservative" part. 
As far as I know there were attempts to make the GC "precise". 
What is the current status about that? If it is the subject of a 
future part of the series, I can wait. ;)

I would love to have a post on that in the future, but someone 
else will have to write it. It's beyond my ken. The last I heard 
about the precise GC was in a recent post here from Jeremy DeHaan 
[1].

BTW, if anyone has anything they'd like to contribute to the GC 
series, I'm more than willing to discuss it.
