"The critical infrastructure pieces (where GC is an issue) are already in C++."

When did this happen? From what I heard last, C++ was just the data importer that dumped everything into mmapped buffers which SBCL worked on.

Data importers, pieces that deal directly with RAC, sound like critical infrastructure where GC is an issue.

I didn't mean critical computation, query and logic components. Perhaps "infrastructure" was too vague.
