Oh yea...
that also raises one intresting idea: reconciling java with scheme.
Java semantics seem to me much, much nicer for MIMD (just intuitively,
no elaborate argument).
Java also seems like a plausible variation on what you'd get if you
wanted to take a subset of Scheme and add declarations. It's object
model is a little heavy and weird, but it's also pretty simple.
So maybe one approach is a split store: thread-private storage for
Scheme data; shared storage for java-ish objects.
There'd be plenty of other benefits to using Java as "typed Scheme
subset" besides threads, too.
