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.

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

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.

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

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?

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