Hi Henrik,
The fact that Clojure enforces this way of working is seen as one of it's
greatest virtues and strengths. If PicoLisp's boss works in the same way you
have the same situation where you don't have to worry about inconsistent
data.
In PicoLisp you usually don't have to worry about
Since my only experience of STM is through Clojure and threads I don't even
know if a similar locking mechanism can be implemented in PicoLisp since
here we have forked processes instead.
As usual my knowledge of Unix/Linux internals is too lacking to say anything
definite, despite having

Or maybe it already
AFAIK it's really only relevant when you're dealing with computationally
heavy and long running things that need to be multi threaded/forked to be
able to utilize multiple CPU cores. Then these processes might need to
coordinate via, or put results in, a shared space.
When it comes to your usual
In Clojure there are a few constructs and functions to handle them that make
use of this to keep multithreaded apps sane: http://clojure.org/refs
However, in the course of developing web apps I've only used them when I
want different request to share a piece of storage that needs to be updated
End result of 9 of course.

As seen here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_transactional_memory
I noticed that Common Lisp and other Lisps have support for transactional
memory.
I read this and became curious:
Hi Jakob,

ATM I cannot see how this could be useful. PicoLisp has no threads, and
in the context of database transactions it seems to make no sense in
PicoLisp's object caching model.
Cheers,

If you defined threads less strict, such that processes could be threads,
could it make sense then?
Only if some shared/mapped memory is used, as far as I
