It took a long time to research and plan out all of this before it could be implemented. There was a noticeable lull in Github contributions during that time:
TODO: get rid of top graph

TODO: create a development section with 7 phases of compiler dev
Phase 1 (gc-dev) - Add gc.h, make sure it compiles.
Phase 2 (gc-dev2) - Change how strings are allocated, to clean up the code and be compatible with a new GC algorithm.
Phase 3 (gc-dev3) - Change from using a Cheney-style copying collector to a naive mark&sweep algorithm.
Phase 4 (gc-dev4) - Integrating new tracing GC algorithm, added new thread data argument to runtime.
Phase 5 (gc-dev5) - Require pthreads library, stand cyclone back up using new GC algorithm.
Phase 6 (gc-dev6) - Multiple mutators (application threads)
Phase 7 (TBD) - Sharing of variables between threads (ideally without limitation, but that might not be realistic)
Anyway, more details are available in a separate [Garbage Collector](Garbage-Collector.md) document.
