<omentic> i caught this talk irl
<discocaml>
<omentic> i was very impressed by the benchmarks being comparable (even if universally worse). there was much emphasis on it being a prototype

<omentic> mildly disappointed it doesn't seem to have been extended. i'm a big fan of reference counting. (mostly for simplicity + real-time systems guarantees)

<omentic> interestingly tidbit on the whole perceus algo, an essentially identical algorithm was implemented in nim some years prior. iirc nim's impl freed memory at end of last scope instead of point of last use, so they couldn't do the mutability in place stuff koka did, and nim is also a jank ass one-person systems language project so it was never written up comprehensively
