Release of Oil 0.8.8
&gt; writing a garbage collector has been harder than I expected.<p>I hear that from everyone. I am looking to write one in the future, so interested to see how this went.<p>&gt; One reason for this is the unusual set of requirements: it&#x27;s moving, precise, and written almost entirely in portable C++. We use it for both a little hand-written code and a lot of generated code.<p>I understand the portability requirement, but I wonder why it was required to be precise and moving.
