cfbolz changed the topic of #pypy to: #pypy PyPy, the flexible snake https://pypy.org | IRC logs: https://quodlibet.duckdns.org/irc/pypy/latest.log.html#irc-end and https://libera.irclog.whitequark.org/pypy | the pypy angle is to shrug and copy the implementation of CPython as closely as possible, and staying out of design decisions

<hh> Hello. Since PyPy uses a tracing garbage collector and not reference counting, can I not worry about cyclic references in my project? Can I rely on this? Thanks
<nimaje> cpython also has a garbage collector (iirc, basically just cycle detection) in addition to reference counting, to handle cases of cyclic references
<hh> Oh I see, I found something about cycle detection too. Thanks for the info

<cfbolz> BarrensZeppelin: cool! yeah, I'm happy to give you feedback any time you tell me
<cfbolz> the parser is a bit finicky, otoh it's pretty close to what CPython does. but then it requires you to manually replace the semantic actions (which are in C in CPython) with RPython code
