[Squeak-e] capabilities in Mozart-Oz

[Fred Spiessens]

Hi All,

For a research project at UCL Belgium I am investigating capabilities 
to enable secure programming in multi-paradigm languages. The Mozart 
implementation of the Oz language will be my main research tool.
I have to decide now whether or not to build a rough emulation of the 
E-language mechanisms in Oz first and learn from that, or just go ahead 
in Oz, and concentrate on the differences with E.
1. Any advice from the subscribers on this mailinglist, regarding this 
decision?
Any particular reasons why you'd choose for the one or the other, or 
why you think I should?
2. It is claimed that Promise-based concurrency is important in E for 
security. Do you think it's also important for capabilities in any way?

Many thanks,
Fred.
