http://www.managedruntime.org/ looks like it wants to make commodity
hardware a playground for large scale garbage collected systems (starting
with the JVM). I know Rich Hickey has mentioned Azul systems before,
running Clojure on their specialized hardware. Is anyone here close
enough to this (kernel mods, api) to know how useful it could be for
existing lisp implementations?
