FWIW, Guile-RPC[0] has some code to allow for asynchronous RPC handling, on the server-side (see `serve-one-stream-request/asynchronous' in `(rpc rpc server)'). The idea is to pass the RPC handler a continuation that it must invoke to actually return the RPC result over the network. Thus, RPC call can be decoupled from RPC return (e.g., you can have an application-level scheduler that first schedules the RPC handler and at some later point schedules the return continuation). I guess continuation-passing style could also be used to implement asynchronous calls on the client-side. > of course, all this is to get to a new window manager. figure of merit > will be how little xplay must evolve to get there. can't be far, can it? At any rate, this and your framework to handle the X protocol look cool! Thanks, Ludovic.
