I would not count that as a bad point for Bigloo (or any other scheme
implementation using Boehm GC like Stalin).
The problem with TeXmacs is the problem with languages like C/C++ that
were not designed for the ground-up to interact with a GC. This is not
the case for Scheme and I suppose the designer of the compiler has
incorporated relevant assumptions in the compiler to make the GC work
well.
But if you want a good GC, take the one of OCaml, it is under LGPL. The
only big issue is that this GC needs integer to be stored with bit 0 set
to 1 (to avoid to mistake them for pointers). And of course, I doubt it
could work with languages like C & C++.
Yours,
d.
