Threads , an M3 newsletter. This is a nifty object-oriented scripting language. Kinda like Modula-3 meets perl. An Obliq computation may involve multiple threads of control within an address space, multiple address spaces on a machine, heterogeneous machines over a local network, and multiple networks over the Internet. Obliq objects have state and are local to a site.
Obliq computations can roam over the network, while maintaining network connections.
We want to take over the world. The internet badly needs a public domain software environment that allows the rapid construction of software tools using a modern programming language. Our goal is to build such a system using Scheme 48, an ultra-portable Scheme implementation which is easily interfaced to existing software written in other languages. 2.8.1.2 is goofy. And the definition of object identity in COM is that QI on IUnknown for all interface pointers on the same object returns the same thing.
