concurrent newlisp ?

[nigelbrown]

Looking into a newlisp (distant?) future perhaps newlisp's contexts could be the basis for a concurrency model. I came across this blog:

http://home.comcast.net/~bc19191/blog/050119.html">http://home.comcast.net/~bc19191/blog/050119.html

discussing concurrency and lisp and got to thinking.

The current context system could be used to send off a light-weight concurrent process if it

was forbidden to/chose not to access other contexts or if inter-context contact was through

messages.



Perhaps in the future a fork of newlisp rewritten in erlang could be concurrent?



Just thinking out loud.
