You might have some other points of view on http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/ (a forum for language designers & theorists). You might also consider looking to other low level programming languages, like http://www.bitc-lang.org/ (but there are others that I don't know about, or that I forgot to mention). At last, you could also dig into the big literature on memory management & garbage collection. In particular, search for "compile time garbage collection" Regards -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ email: basile<at>starynkevitch<dot>net mobile: +33 6 8501 2359 8, rue de la Faiencerie, 92340 Bourg La Reine, France *** opinions {are only mine, sont seulement les miennes} ***
