If I understand you correctly, the use of the term "tuple" as a term of art in language design makes it improper to use as a term in VM design. I disagree. And I dispute your use of the term "mistake" applied to my work. You might find the term confusing when looking at VM work through a language lens, but not everyone does. -- John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
