AFAIK CPython uses reference counting ...
Combination of reference-counting as a first resort, with full garbage
collection to deal with those less common cases where you have reference
cycles. Trying to get the best of both worlds.
The trouble with reference-counting is it impacts multithreading
performance. However, the CPython developers have a scheme to deal with
this, by making the reference counts a little less deterministic (i.e.
there may be a slight delay before they become fully correct). I think
this is a complicated idea, and it may take them some time to get it fully
implemented.
