Especially if they're trying to include distribution (per a comment elsewhere). Pretty sure you can't have linearalizable messages between nodes without additional runtime cost compared to the non-linearalized case.
- AnkhMorporkian 12y agoDistribution probably (almost definitely) kills the runtime cost, I can't imagine how it couldn't. I'm much more interested in the causality guarantee in the context of the distributed systems.
- lostcolony 12y agoOh, agreed. But it's doable, provided you don't mind losing availability (which is...an interesting choice for a programming language), and you don't mind the runtime cost. But I agree, exactly what guarantees they're trying to provide (and is it opt in?) is an interesting question.
