Hello @stwrt I would like to work on this, can you suggest some resources I should refer before I start working on this.

@AtulRaghuvanshi73 Thanks for wanting to work on this 😃.

These past blog posts would be good places to start:

1. https://webkit.org/blog/12967/understanding-gc-in-jsc-from-scratch/
2. https://webkit.org/blog/7122/introducing-riptide-webkits-retreating-wavefront-concurrent-garbage-collector/
3. https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/Inspecting%20the%20GC%20heap

You can also ask any questions in the WebKit JSC Slack channel too if something doesn't make sense about the garbage collector.

@stwrt I wanted to know that where should I create a Garbage collection section for this documentation? Like where should this go?

@AtulRaghuvanshi73 Deep Dive / JSC would be the best place to put garbage collection documentation.
