Or rather Eclipse OMR is a toolkit for runtimes/VMs and GC plugs 
into that. I encourage you to try it to implement D-like 
semantics with this run-time and you’ll see just how pluggable it 
is.

I once used OpenJ9, which was IBM J9 I think, right beforce open 
sourcing.  It was about x2 slower then Hotspot, didn’t dig too 
deep as to preciese reason. The fact that it was on Power8 was 
especially surprising, I thought IBM would take advantage of 
their own hardware.
