reap allocation
Emery Berger is an alum of UT Austin's systems program. UT Austin and UMass Amherst have been among the leaders in memory allocation and deallocation (garbage collection) research since I was a grad student. Berger's recent work includes a new allocator abstraction called a
reap (OOPLSA paper), which is build on his group's Heap Layers toolkit for memory allocators. I'm glad to see this work being done, and even gladder to see that they are distributing it under an open source license. They only thing that they could to do make me totally ecstatic would be to license it under the LGPL, so that it doesn't infect whatever it's linked against.

Thanks for posting this, Ted! Emery is a good friend of mine and former officemate when we both worked at a research lab in Austin. I'd lost track of him a few years back, though, but your post will help fix that.
In hindsight, I probably should have paid better attention when he tried to explain the intricacies of garbage collection to me. I ended up writing a lot of Lisp code at the job I took after leaving Austin.
