<snip>I'm more interested in bringing ChucK ideas to other languages than the other way around right now. Other VMs have had a few more eyes and hands on them, and adding timing rules to them has been easier than adding language features to ChucK for me. I'm leaving that to the pros!
The problem is that these other GCs probably are not designed for real time issues, but to speed up programming. One needs something that can be used in real time systems.
I side STRONGLY with Tom on this one. If the GC for language [X] isn't appropriate for real-time, then write a new GC and make it available to the world. That seems like more fruitful use of time than, say, creating closures for ChucK. Just my own half a nibble... - Rob
