“The current garbage collector is relatively slow compared to 
implementations for other language runtimes. It's not competitive 
with top-of-the-line GCs, especially for large workloads.“

They have planned something for 3.0 that may or may not work:

But that’s merely a design, AFAIK there’s no implementation. 
They’re still looking for a sponsor for that.
