But the GC has to do it in a thread safe way which involves locking/synchronization. Otherwise you get nasty race conditions.

There's no need to lock or synchronize if you're working in a language with immutability and copy on write first class data structures.

Well, I can't read the paper, but how is their Chip not having those same issues?
