Captain, status report: I’m down here in a Jeffries tube, poking at V8’s garbage collector. However, despite working on other areas of the project recently, V8 is now so large that it’s necessary to ignore whole subsystems when working on any given task. But now I’m looking at the GC in anger: what is its deal? What does V8’s GC even look like these days?
