I'd agree with some of that too ;). I've toyed around a bit with generating
the run-time kernel from occam-pi sources, should be possible, but might
need special (safe) magic in the language to keep some of the existing
optimisations. An exercise for the new compiler at some point. :)
Incidently, that paper makes an incorrect claim about occam regarding
ALTs:
"Furthermore, an OCCAM thread waits on a single channel, whereas
our threads can be blocked on any number of wait conditions, which
causes more accounting on waking a thread."
I pointed that out to the authors at the conference, hopefully to be
filtered into to future publications.
Cheers,
-- Fred
