I am talking about a general-purpose solution that lets me do everything I currently am doing in C. Threads I am doing. If I can't write a threaded application in LISP then it will _never_ get any consideration from me, as threads are the future, no threads is the past... I didn't use threads in Lisp 15 years ago as there were few SMP machines around except for the Cray where no one did lisp programming. But today, SMP is everywhere. AMD is going to release a dual-cpu chip before long...
