Visualizing Garbage Collection in Ruby and Python - Pat Shaughnessy

Note: This post is based on a presentation I just did at RuPy in Budapest. Instead of just posting my slides I thought it would be more useful if I wrote it down as a blog post while it’s still fresh in my mind. You can also watch the video recording of the presentation. FYI I’m planning to do a similar presentation at RubyConf, except I’ll remove the Python info, and instead compare how GC works
