JoCaml rewritten ...

[Christopher Quinn <cq@htec.demon.co.uk>]

This is nice to know indeed!
JoCaml appears to my untutored eye, a *superior* mobile code framework.
One thing that troubles me though is the 'distributed garbage 
collection' going on under the hood - what would this mean in terms of 
reliance on reliable/fast comms facility?
I have in mind distribution of software updates to desktop apps for 
instance, where a process can be 'invited' into one's running desktop 
app which will then pull in the necessary bytecode-patches and do 
whatever housekeeping is necessary in order to bring the installation 
up-to-date.
Is distributed GC a fragile luxury inappropriate to such a setting? 
(I probably don't properly understand D-GC!  I'm just vaguely worried 
about the amount of comms going on/required .... )

Is there an echo in here .....   :o)

Cheers,
Chris Quinn
