I've lost the context. Please quote more or remind me of the original subject.
Guessing...
One thing that I'd like to mention is that I want to make my server
language-neutral. Meaning, the server itself will not have a language but a set
of APIs and a mechanism to invoke an "external" language to process events.
The first version will support precompiled code ("C" calling convention via
DLLs) and interpreted REXX.
Given that, all the local variables will have to be considered dynamic.
No provision will be possible for local garbage collection, only for the DB.
Have fun,
Alex.
