Please, Graham. Your posts about GC to collect cyclic references got
quite a few favorable replies. No one surfaced with both the time and
enthusiasm to implement it, but that should not be a surprise. Look
at the state of Greg's free-threading patches, or the total lack of
activity on the Types SIG. Remember also that most responses will be
from people who feel strongly one way or the other, which will often
have a negative correlation to the thoughtfulness of the replies.
That's "Usenet".
You did, however, start by proposing using Java as the implementation
language for Python 2, which is a very different matter.
