How long do you think someone could get to the point to understand how the 
current GC works assuming no former VM developement experience?
How long do you think such person could reimplement a new GC?
How much effort would it take to decrease the barrier? (I'm asking this, 
because I think it's way to hard for someone inexperienced to get into the 
developement without nagging someone experienced with questions for 
weeks.)
