I'm curious if someone can point me to a technical description of ruby's garbage collector?

There might be one in the Ruby Hacking Guide (in Japanese). Guy Decoux might also be able to describe it for you in French, Ruby or C.
The short, english description is a conservative mark and sweep garbage collector.

while we are at this, I remember a branch was created some time ago to work on the new generational GC, are there some news or this simply never happened and I'm crazy?

Yeah, I got that bit, was hoping for something a bit more technical in English.

It's not faster than expected. I will try again when YARV has come.

conservative
we use system stack and CPU registers for tracing root as well as
usual language roots (global/local variables etc.). jmpbuf is used
to access registers.
mark and sweep
simple mark and sweep, but uses Knuth's algorithm to avoid crash for
deep recursion.
matz.

See <http://www.memorymanagement.org/> for more details on
GC algorithms. Good site.
