6 First of all, this is a blog. Second, this is a blog about my informatics
7 engineering thesis, to finally finish my long long studies at FIUBA_
8 (Engineering Faculty of the Buenos Aires University, UBA_): a wild try
9 to improve the `D Programming Language`__ `garbage collector`__.

16 But don't expect too much of this blog. It's just a public place where
17 to write my mental notes (in my poor english), things I want to remember
18 for some point in the future.
20 If you are still interested, here is my plan for the short term:
22 I'm reading (again) the bible of GC: `Garbage Collection: Algorithms for
23 Automatic Dynamic Memory Management`__ by Rafael Lins (whom I had the
24 pleasure to meet in person) and Richard Jones. I'll try to evaluate the
25 posibility of using each and every technique in that book in the D GC,
26 leaving here all my conclusions about it. What I really want in this
27 first (serious) pass is, at least, to discard the algorithms that are
28 clearly not suitable for D.
