Hi,
I've been reading up on Alice ML and I am deeply impressed. It is really
an
enormous achievement.
I have a question regarding the paper 'HOT Pickles, and How To Serve
Them'.
On page 2 there is an example involving pickling of a procedure that calls
TextIO.print. According to
http://www.standardml.org/Basis/text-io.html#SIG:TEXT_IO.print:VAL
this
writes a string to standard output stream. OTOH, section 4.1 says
that 'resources' (which includes file handles) cannot be pickled. This
seems like a contradiction to me.
Anyone care to clear up my confusion?
Thanks
Ben
