@dibblego @samth @bitemyapp @puffnfresh @djspiewak - compare something like Cloud Haskell with something like Gemstone Smalltalk replication

@coreload @samth @bitemyapp @puffnfresh @djspiewak Are you suggesting increased expressiveness here? I am sceptical at the extreme.

@dibblego @samth @bitemyapp @puffnfresh @djspiewak -- when you investigate those two systems in some depth, we can discuss. until then...

@coreload @dibblego @samth @puffnfresh @djspiewak Didn't know people thought Smalltalk and proliferating object mutation was a good idea.

@bitemyapp -- then you may be missing something.

@coreload we abandoned stateful servers ages ago for a reason. Half-assing replication on top of that doesn't make a bad idea a better idea

@bitemyapp -- this is used as a representative problem... but as it turns out to have been useful for 20+ years. hardly half assed.

@coreload @lambdatoast @dibblego @samth @bitemyapp @puffnfresh @djspiewak why are we talking about libraries? Thought we were talking PLT.
