Dynamic updating
In Kent Pitman's article:
http://world.std.com/~pitman/PS/Hindsight.html
he discusses (among other topics) one very interesting property of
Common Lisp:
>Lisp allows you to enter a running image, build up a lot of state by
>running programs, and then at that point load new definitions. This
>gives product maintainers the powerful ability to have customers load
>patches that can fix bugs in running programs without requiring those
>programs to be exited. The value to a customer in some situations can
>be immeasurable.
In hopes of not starting any language wars on this very high S/N mailing
list I would like to know if this is a property of CL itself or is this
possible in mzscheme as well?
