 || Q: What are some successful products or projects which make use of 
 ||    garbage collection?

The O2 object-oriented database has an off-line garbage collector.  (It's a
successful commercial product.)  Other object-oriented databases have too, but
I don't know the names off-hand.  Those that don't, should.  Garbage
collection is central to the notion of persistence.  This was shown by
Atkinson as early as 1983.
