Yep! I know the guy. Good tip. I will contact him these days. > > > You might also want to check with Lua people to see what they're > currently doing for web and application servers.

But what I would like to see is how they do concurrent programmig i.e. how they support multiple threads of execution. Tcl compartment model is fine for some case but it presents a real pain in the neck when you have a large initial state that needs to be replicated in each and every thread. This bugs us for years and I attempted to solve that, but w/o nice and generic solution. > > >> It is really lightweight!

I must go shopping arround for some days to get a clear picture. It is still relatively unclear to me except for the first couple of steps that were really promising. IMO, it pays of to look deeper. JCW is a good tip! I'll talk to the guy.
