   Not to drag out the old Scheme-as-system-language thread again, but doesn't
   the "solution" seem to be that one *create* a mechanism to aid
   cross-language linking?  I get the feeling that the a big obstacle to unix
   carving out a wider niche is the deficiency in the linker/loader area.
   Rather than this bizarre file-oriented, stored-executable environment we all
   live with, why not have a truly powerful HLL provide an interface to such
   resources as static and dynamic link-tables?

To see one practical way to get interlanguage linking today, you can
check out our LFP94 paper "Sweet Harmony: The Talk/C++ Connection",
available by following the links to Talk from Ilog's WWW server at
http://www.ilog.fr.  (If you don't have a WWW connection, you can also
send mail to info@ilog.com asking for the paper.)
