Cool. I'd love a way to completely persist a session to disk and reinstate it later, tho'. In other languages too http://stackoverflow.com/q/3966925/447514 - but only languages like Smalltalk or Forth with the concept of an "image" really do what I want.


OS level support for checkpointing is also a thing that exists: Eg https://criu.org/


I think we will come to that in the future, but the OS will handle that instead of the language.

Of course, one can argue you can already to it with docker :)


The future as in, say, 1979? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System/38


Well you could do it for decades with VMs but that's pretty heavyweight ;-)
