Right now living in the "future" requires a lot of legwork in the present.
Outside reviewing my STM book and getting static-stm-barrier branch to build
on my tiny computers, I have to come up with working hypothesis about how
Stackless works on top of STM. I believe we can take clues from concurrency/STM
in Haskell. An immediate concern is that transaction.py assumes the units of
execution are threads not tasklets. I am guessing to get around this will
entails me having a far better understanding of how continuelets and stacklets
(this is what PyPy uses for microthreading) interact with OS threads.
Cheers,
Andrew
