I am very much interested in Terracotta. I did some experimenting with
it when designing Clojure. At the time, it had a problem not
preserving identity semantics for interned Strings which I believe
they have since changed.
There was a time when I had the Clojure STM running on Terracotta, not
sure if it still uses the subset of the Java lib that Terracotta
supports.
If anyone wants to do some exploring of this I'd be very interested in
the results.
