Jikes RVM has hosted much GC work over the years. Some of the world's top experts in GC algorithms have implemented things in Jikes RVM, including, I believe, deferred reference counting. So have no fear, we understand about write barriers! Just wait until you try to understand, implement, and prove concurrent GC algorithms!
