Good thinking.  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!
