The concept of object recycling is really interesting. but I think
that it is not as general is GC. It is more of an optimization. I
wonder how far the object recycling can be applied transparently (and
more importantly: predictably) into the compilation process.
This is just my initial thoughts, I'm still thinking about it, More
discussions to come.
