Re: Pluto 1.0 final

[Ben Sunshine-Hill <sneftel@...>]

I've considered this possibility before. I think it has definite
appeal for when lua_xmove won't work (i.e. moving between actual
different universes, not just different threads). Since you can
persist an entire universe or a single number with equal ease, it's
not even particularly necessary to strip it down.

The one manner in which Pluto is less than ideal for this is the need
for all data to be persisted into a buffer before being unpersisted.
Changing it so that persisting and unpersisting could work
concurrently would require significant control-flow changes... I'll
take another look at the code this evening and see what exactly would
be involved.

If you use it like this, I'd definitely like to hear about how it works out.
