I am more concerned about Alien on Linux, which is not working. Beyond that, I want to learn more about how to make calls using Alien; the more I read, the more I have my doubts about its ease of use. I will gladly eat those words if it's easy to use.<br>

I would like to have alien or ffi in 1.1. Now I do not know the status of Alien on windows.<br>

> My initial reaction to 1.1's approaching release was "where are the callbacks/aliens?" Sig appears to be offering some competition to Alien. If he/we can provide a comprehensive and convenient way to make calls, do callbacks, additionally put calls onto other OS threads, and do all of this on the three major platforms, then it could easily turn out the best option for external interfacing.<br>

Since 1.1 is approaching releasable form and FFI/Alien/NB is unclear at present, a release makes sense.<br>
