Let me just confess my religious view about this then ;) I agree with most of what you say. The thing that really gives me the creeps is "CORBA". I think the interfaces that CORBA gives are slightly worse than "horrible". What I would like is a low level systems language that has message passing as a fundamental operation, implementing every possible optimization at the wisdom of a real compiler. Writing that language wouldn't be difficult, we could follow the C extension approach or even directly use one of those. An example language would be: Cilk at MIT Or we could write our own C extension to be perfectly in control. In fact, I would like is an OO language, but extending C++ turns out to have too much overhead. Perhaps extending Objective-C would be a good bet, or we could go straight ahead and write a completely new language. Also we should look at Inferno. If you're talking about a really exciting hack, that would be it; not CORBA... Cheers, -- Eray (exa) Ozkural Comp. Sci.
