I need a solution to build a distributed application under heavy loads with high response time and robustess (MMO). I have several alternatives; Erlang (Dynamically typed :( ), Haskell (if I rewrite a distributed layer on top of it but lacks important features), Scala with its Actors (not ready yet). I finally found AliceML which seems to provide all what I could ever expect to build massively distributed application (I have to applause for your job)!
I really need a solution right now so aside Erlang; AliceML is perhaps my last hope. I still have several questions about AliceML before going further: - Does any project exist using AliceML in heavy load? - Does AliceML provide all the necessary infrastructure for OTP (Erlang) like robustess? - What are the performance of AliceML? Is the runtime the same as Oz so I can figure out with the (low level) shootout benchmark? - How confident could I be that AliceML will still be maintained? - Why is there no buzz around AliceML? - Did someone already adapt Actor like model in Alice ML? - Is the garbage collector a stop the world or incremental? - Is there some optimisation for communication bandwidth under the hood? Every answer is welcome! Thank you! Stephane.
