Unsure how well using C code for the GC would work.  Also, if you're
thinking about STM specifically, note that it needs to be integrated
with a special GC --- or at least, not strictly *needs* to, but if it
is, we can design a much more efficient overall way to have STM.
(This is documented in
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/extradoc/raw/extradoc/planning/stm.txt ,
together with a plan for a simple STM-specific GC, which is partially
implemented.)


A bientôt,

Armin.
