I'm investigating memory management and garbage collection schemes for
Prograph, an object-oriented, data-flow programming language. The current
implementation of Prograph uses reference counting for garbage collection.
We're considering the pros and cons of using mark and sweep or generational
garbage collection algorithms. If you have some first-hand recommendations
or information I'd be pleased to hear from you. I can give further info
on Prograph and the memory management issues of the language if that
will help. Thanks.
