John Cowan co...@mercury.ccil.org writes: Quite right, though I don't consider either point essential. Limited mailboxes are useful to prevent livelock (though at the risk of deadlock), and perhaps they should be retrofitted into the egg. Indeed, having thought about it some more it is probably possible to implement both things on top of the mailbox primitive. Not very convenient, but possible :-) Moritz ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

That lays the type safety burden upon the developer at run time and not the compiler.

The main difference is that Scheme ports are limited to just a single type (i.e. characters) but that doesn't make them type-unsafe, no? :-) Moritz ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

And in Gambit, there are other ports as well, from which you can only read objects (like their directory-ports).
