RC024 — Understanding the Reason Native Garbage Collector (Part 2)
Channel: Leandro Ostera
Date: 20/02/2019

The OCaml Garbage Collector is a fantastic piece of software that allows us to
write programs that are incredibly fast, yet do no memory management on their
own.

It is also the same Garbage Collector that Reason Native uses! (It may come as a
surprise to you but Reason Native is essentially just OCaml, so many many things
are in effect the same).

In this episode we will attempt to complete the ideas built on Part I, by
exploring how the Major Heap works, and tying the whole garbage collection
together.
