Ruby 2.1: Out-of-Band GC
Very nice to see improvement in Ruby's GC. Back in Ruby 1.8 days, I read the source of the GC implementation and I was less than impressed. I should take the time and revisit that code to see what kind of improvements have been done.

In that time frame, the interpreter has been entirely re-written, and we've gone through three or four different garbage collectors.
So yeah, it should be quite different.
