How is it not?<br></blockquote></div><br>When I asked the question I probably should've mentioned I had Clojure on the brain. Clojure has first-class support for STM and permits mutable state within "atomic" sections of code (where it has immutable state otherwise)<br>
<br>I suppose I was wondering if someone had ever experimented with a system like that which permits transactional node-local mutable state. And I guess the answer is still Mnesia does that... to a degree. However Mnesia requires you configure tables/schema ahead of time and it certainly isn't a first-class language feature, not that that's a requirement of STM systems.<br>
