Discussion of the feasibility and desirability of implementing transactional concurrency in Eiffel.

Legacy externals

Is blocking all threads and executing legacy externals sufficient to ensure correct operation

Is it possible to check for legacy externals within a transaction at runtime

Implementation performance

Performance of software transactional memory. Current implementations of software transactional memory.

Asynchronous features

Is there a need for synchronous features

Language keywords

Use a word to define a transaction or a non-transaction

Examples please

I think we need to see some examples (well, I do for one).
