[Lift] Re: Removing Scala Actors from Lift

David, I concur that while progress has been made my meta-issues have not been addressed. I think that effectively addressing using the current model and retaining something resembling API compatibility would be a huge task, and probably would have meant that very little newness from a feature-f

The large number of VolatileTaskRefs is a consequence of your thread pool growth. Each worker thread maintains an array of VolatileTaskRef objects. The VolatileTaskRef objects are reused rather than allocated for each task, so they will not be GC'd as long as the worker thread is alive. You can t

Glenn, Just out of curiosity, what's your frame of reference, e.g. the technologies that you are accustomed to that are so much more "interoperable"? Based on some recent experience teaching Django to ASP.NETdevelopers, it seems to me your experience may be leading you to look for things that ju

Actors can be, and often are, dependent on messages from other actors to do their thing. So if you're not careful you can end up with them waiting on each other indefinitely. On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 2:18 PM, tim wee wrote: > Hi Jorge, > Thanks for the thoughtful reply. > > For the deadlock/live

I think you need to be able to quantify the risk versus reward for your clients. You should also be able to tell them how you mitigate some of that risk. For example, a lot of custom software is delivered in a half-baked state. If you deliver a half-baked product, and then move on to the next pr

I haven't tried this, but if possible I'd suggest moving them into a separate libary and only letting NetBeans see the compiled jar. As a side note, I bet the Eclipse plugin has the same problem. They are both use pieces of Scala compiler, and anything that makes the compiler work hard makes the
