The GC would seem like a good project for GSoC. There's been a
lot of talk about the GC, but not many actual GC commits in the
official druntime. Integrating Luca's CDGC
(http://forum.dlang.org/post/utbclcwhiidbewtuzkzc@forum.dlang.org),
Sean's D2 version from years ago
(http://forum.dlang.org/thread/exfrifcfczgjwkudqdgx@forum.dlang.org#post-mdonuqmhthwrwzrywtek:40forum.dlang.org),
or Rainer's precise GC
(http://forum.dlang.org/thread/qdloccrbwmrlxibmkztu@forum.dlang.org#post-lja9ro:242bdi:241:40digitalmars.com),
perhaps all of the above and then benchmarking them, might make
for a good GSoC project. I imagine that at least one of them
might volunteer as a mentor.
I don't know if Orvid would qualify for GSoC, but maybe he'd be a
good candidate to do this, assuming he isn't too far down the
road with his own GC by next summer. :)
