More speculation, again just out of curiosity: Say you have a system where certain function definitions act like rules, and you want to change those rules in a transactional manner. Would it be reasonable to wrap just those functions with Refs? On a related note, would it be possible to implement atomic, system- wide transactions by suspending the current computation, replacing some root bindings, and continuing? How do long-running systems like Erlang handle this problem? -Stuart --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
