In .NET you can load multiple versions of the same assembly (think library), but it is frowned upon. The only time I've done it was to do side-by-side testing of two versions to ensure there were no regressions. > I don't know why Java is the way it is, but it I'm guessing people wanted to run lots of heterogene...

Google has been trying to promote Go as an alternative, but that's a long way off. Prior to C you didn't really have anything equivalent. Everything was vendor specific with a few exceptions like COBOL and FORTRAN, and nobody has any business writing low-level code in those. The comparison between C and Latin is fair...

I'm not sure if you can direct this problem at the GPL, it's more of a general problem for copyright on "projects" with multiple contributors. BSD/MIT/CC essentially circumvent this by taking away all contributor rights. Which is a valid solution, but one that plenty of people are understandably uncomfortable with.

Thanks, that's a nice paper. Page 3 ("107") confirms my guess that each block only gets a single side effect, but the dependency tracking on reads is a bit nicer than I was expecting. It doesn't hint at using transactions for communication between concurrent threads, so it's not STM yet.
