About the Lisp backend project, it is an interesting project and I really would like to help, but I don't really know if I have a lot of time during the coming months. I will try to help as much as I can though. On my CV is that I have spent some days to find a subtle bug in the the rucksack btree implementation. Also I have written some braindump notes of my own ideas of similar projects.
About transactions, I think the rucksack model with multiple concurrent object versions is nice. Another idea from rucksack, having the btrees implemented as lisp objects that are serialized and deserialized just like other objects, is that an idea worth considering? It probably makes the implementation a little bit easier, but I am speculating that it may give worse performance. About garbage collection. If it is necessary at the beginning, I would like a design that it should be done by a second independent process so it doesn't degrade performance for the client program. Great idea this, Thanks, /Henrik _______________________________________________ elephant-devel site list elephant-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-devel
