i am going to make a proposal that we ('we' to be defined later) develop
a new common event loop with two major goals in mind:
1. the event loop should be fully portable over all modern unix OS's
and the win32 server flavors (nt, 2k).
2. be a test bed for perl6 language level event API

Ziggy came up with a good example of when object inheritance makes
life easier. Basically, there are times when you'd want to override
individual methods of individual objects. Example below.

Here's a reference to the Bartlett 'mostly-copying' GC collector.
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/WRL/research-reports/WRL-TR-88.2.pdf
Hans Boehm also has a decent GC reference page with links to Bartlett's, but
his GC is mark/sweep.

Well it's a dicier proposition that writing a Fortran or COBOL
implementation from scratch, but it's Not Intractable. The next

Forgive my woeful ignorance Could someone define "data aggregation by
inheritance"? From John's original mention I thought this was some oblique

C++, etc.

Anyone else get the feeling that properties are to Perl 6 what oo was to

NewtonScript was an excellent language; with prototype-based inheritance,
