There was a discussion on this topic back in September, titled "Fixing production systems on-the-fly". I wrote then: "Re consistency: I seem to recall Pascal Costanza working on activation of layers, so you can swap a whole set of stuff across your program. He spoke about it at ILC2009, but I'm not sure I've found the right paper. Common Lisp-specific, though." He showed a website, paused mid-request, where he swapped out several functions. Unpausing the request still ran to completion with the old functions. A new request ran with the new functions. Impressive. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
