My understanding from the discussions on python-dev and from Simon Peyton-Jones's chapter "Beautiful Concurrency" in _Beautiful Code_ is that multithreading is not about the execution model (ie, the interpreter per se) as it is about the data model. The problem is developing ways for the language to mark some data as safe, so that the interpreter doesn't need to lock them, while others are vulnerable to reentrancy etc and need to be protected. Interpreter reentrancy per se is important, but it's a bounded task. Fixing the language is not. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
