Yeah, but at least with XOmB, we weren't actually _using_ the GC, as you can turn it off in D.

Thanks for the heads up.

Although given my Oberon knowledge, I would say that was more a consequence of D's GC implementation quality than anything else, right?

On Oberon and all the derived OS, the Kernel module was the only one where GC wasn't used, as it needed to be implemented somewhere.

All the other modules enjoyed access to an OS wide GC.

Well, it was really just that we didn't get that far, I guess. Mind you, my friends did much more of the work than I did, but like most student hobby projects, at some point, you just stop working on things.
