Episode 68: Dan Grossman on Garbage Collection and Transactional Memory

This episode features a discussion with Dan Grossman about an essay
paper he wrote for this year's OOPSLA conference. The paper is
about an analogy between garbage collection and transactional
memory. In addition to seeing the beauty of the analogy, the
discussion also serves as a good introduction to transactional
memory (which was mentioned in the Goetz/Holmes episode) and - to
some extent - to garbage collection.
