So do I. It was supposed to be AIX. Every one of a bunch of RS6000s, with
32MB RAM plus 64MB VM get out of processes really soon. This is of course
nothing to blame fvwm with, but OTOH three xterms are alot more than three
modules. Any day.

Nope, no schemes in here.

At the time I worked with SCM, a scheme interpreter. Although I didn't use
this feature, it does support some sort of dynamically loadable objs, And
it is already implemented for many, many platforms (including VMS and
Amiga).
<pause as I browse through the code>
OTOH, I can't say the SCM code excels in clarity. But it is GPL.

What /would/ you choose?

You get paid? Ahh, the lucky ones. <g>
