I think this is possibly not the case or Go and Rust would not have gone this route – which is the imperative native code equivalent of what the functional languages and the dynamic languages do using the heap. The problem is to not have a single stack so that it becomes easy to manage 1,000+ threads within a single process. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
