Has there been any [more] interesting and/or more exhaustive study of
tags and type checking in lisp, and various software approaches since
the publication of Steenkiste and Hennessy[1]? I would appreciate any
references to published or ongoing work. [Yes, I have looked at Lee's
collection[2], which has a rewrite of [1], and other useful bits, but
I would like some more refs.]
Please respond via email. I will summarize.
thanks. oz
