I use C++ because it's at a low-enough level and does not have a GC.
Anyway, 
I need to take a look at your allocator. One question, can I allocate
memory 
in one thread and free it in another? Is your allocator algorithm
wait-free, 
or just lock-free? How does it compare to StreamFlow or Hoard? I am not 
interested in the GC aspect, just the allocator. Also, can I use your GC
to 
solve the reader-writer problem in non-blocking algorithms? For instance, 
could I substitute RCU with your GC?

Thanks.
