Absolutely. I don't know about Kyle's and Olivier's plans in details,
but as long as you have precise memory management (hint, hint ...) you
can just dump out a heap image and mmap it back in. This can even be
done in such a way as to create architecture-independent heap images.
I wrote code to do that for Scheme 48 which should show up in one of
the next releases.
