Hi Stewart, Nice to see encouraging signs of life
Currently the Mozart virtual machine is being rewritten for modern day > platforms. Yes, I know. I am only sorry that my coding skills aren't quite up to the level for contributing. > At least one company is forming around this new software stack. Thing are > looking good indeed! I'd buy shares... He-heh! > I believe strong uptake was inhibited by a few factors (Unicode, easy > plugging into other IDEs, 64 bit etc) - many are being addressed as we speak > I agree. I also experienced insurmountable problems (wish I'd documented them - don't ask!) trying to use "tickets" / "distributed network transparency" across multiple platforms. Everything seemed to work differently. 64-bit Linux was hopeless, Windows didn't work, and the only thing that worked was if I used exclusively Linux 32-bit machines. I was using the versions with the "new" ticketing system throughout, so it was a bit disappointing. OTOH, seeing the magic of network transparency in action, say assigning a variable on one machine and seeing it update on the Inspector in another, was quite an experience. I'd like to to some serious distributed work (have a couple of project ideas that I'm keen on) but at the moment I am working on getting a good mastery of computation spaces, for applications in distributed search. > So regarding your question - I'm afraid I cannot assist you, but do keep > questions, insights and revelations flowing to the list! > No problem Stewart, I'll try emailing Tobias at Saarlands, just thought I'd ask here first. Cheers
