Hello,
I'm doing a project funded by the Google Summer of Code. I would really appreciate if it could be hosted on common-lisp.net with a darcs repository, and a mailing list. My ssh key is attached.
CL-STM is an extension of Common Lisp to support composable Software Transactional Memory. STM makes concurrent programming qualitatively better. Instead of traditional lock-based programming, you program with atomic transactions. Atomic transactions can be composed together to make larger atomic transactions. Finally, it just so happens that transactions run in parallel, and are rolled back if there are conflicts.
STM gives us freedom from deadlock, automatic roll-back on failure, and it resolves the tension between granularity and concurrency.
CL-STM will be released under a BSD licence.
Thanks very much, I hope you have a good day.
