# gladiator
*gladiator* is a small, concurrent and modular garbage collector for Rust. It's made to be used in the [*xlang*](https://github.com/xlang-lang/engine) language, as it is concurrent and garbage collected.
In *xlang*, the program runs in "fibers," which are similar to threads, except they can all be executed in the same thread. *xlang*'s goal is to garbage collect each fiber seperately, in an alternate thread, to prevent pausing other fibers while it is being garbage collected. That's why we made *gladiator*.
> Under large loads (> 1000 nested references), *gladiator* may stack overflow, depending on the host system.
