Here is what I have been toying around with lately:


- large-grained objects:


Emacs Lisp, Perl, Python, Tcl all are powerful interpreted languages which
have nice string-handling and math libraries. I am working on allowing
each of these languages to serve as remote procedure call servers. For
example, if you are programming in Perl but Python has a nice string-split
function, you simply issue a rpc call to the Python server and continue
your work in Perl.


Ultimately however, I am working on scientific applications in Chemistry
and High-Energy Physics and I want to create executables which will map to
distributed computation on a network of Sun Sparcstations or a hypercube.


My question is: how can I take an interpreted program (let's say an emacs
lisp program) and create an architecture-specific executable?

Lisp and compile it. -John]
