Yeah, I agree that it's a nightmare in production, but it's absolutely indispensable in development situations where you can tolerate the occasional weirdness or failure. If you're developing a server app (or a thick-client app), avoiding a sever restart every time you change anything is a huge, huge win. And again, it's not like it's not implementable: there's already an implementation, for the JVM, that works.
