Question, how does this compare/contrast to “image based persistence” as used by e.g., most Smalltalk and certain Lisp based VMs?

Yes. Scala and Clojure are my preferred JVM languages, but there are certain frameworks that are highly useful but problematic when used with Scala and/or Clojure. * Spring Boot for web services and application. Absolutely amazing and

Thank you for the revised link! Good that you mention Leto (which was a beautiful movie, despite many historical inaccuracies): Leto is set in the early, pre-perestroika 80s. The first link I posted - Elektrichka - is also from that era: it

Ideally Pham would be played by Chow Yun Fat, Sammy Park by Teo Yoo, Tomas Nau by Kevin Spacey, and Anne Reynolt by Lana Del Ray. Rotoscope could be used for Spiders.

I am one of those folks (born in early 1980s in Minsk). One can get a taste of that era by listening to the amazing music from bands like Kino and Nautilus Pompilus. Some example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWEfVZN64jU

I've built a quick demo showing how to build a very basic synthesizer in rust. Missing are UI buttons controlling the sounds being emitted, I will add them at a later point.

On a slightly related tangent: I recently purchased an electric bike and have been very happy with it. It has the looks and performance of a 1920-30s Harley or Indian motorcycle (one revs the handle bars to accelerate like on a motorcycle,

Indeed they are! The notion that each process has its separate address space is called virtual memory for that reason. See also cgroups: while this feature is used by the container run times, it predates Docker, and can be used standalone w

Don’t ride a bike: first motor and response times are impacted, second (at least in California) you absolutely can get a DUI on a bicycle.

This is really interesting as HotSpot (OpenJDK, Oracle Java) has its origin in a Smalltalk VM (Strong Talk), while Eclipse started its life as a Smalltalk IDE. Glad to see this come full circle.
