e.g. redaction in german means editing
if you need more elaborate lifecycle management of components as they are upgraded, then maybe OSGI could do that.
erlang's approach really appeals to me though -- not only does the code get upgraded, but it's in cooperation with its message loop so you don't miss a step, and you also get a callback to migrate your actor state.
there you go.
edited to add (and bring back on topic): this might look spammy, and in fact it is -- some subreddits don't like all the tipping noise at all, but on /r/dogecoin it's the big thing that differentiates it from the other altcoins.
Windows seems to have a low-level api for querying the filesystem/vfs for changes since you last looked: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa36...
And BTRFS has some ability to do this with find-new: http://www.tummy.com/blogs/2010/11/01/fun-with-btrfs-what-fi...
It's nice that btrfs has these new interesting features, also see send/receive, but it's not available in the vfs, and I suppose never will be.
Why not go further and put up the train carriage specs/dimensions in an easy to use template online, so you can lay out your design in advance to take account of the windows.
Going any further like sponsoring chosen designs might backfire because then it all gets viewed as too commercial, and we'll get people defacing the corporate graffiti.
Denying yourself the use of the heap is also going to make closures rather difficult. You can use this style to pass back a function pointer, but the caller would also need to allocate space for the callee's captured variables. Ick.
We've only had our copy of eclipse for a short while, and since it's a big commitment to get a group to spend 4 or 5 hours together we've only managed 2 games so far. Roughly 10 hours for 100 bucks seems expensive, but what if you divide that across a group of 5 people? Then it's already down to 2$ per hour.
Every time the game comes to the table it looks like a better investment. All depends how you account for it, and how many plays you get out of it before you move on to the next new thing.

eta: although that now seems to be merely a historical curiosity, since the BBFC no longer rates games - we use PEGI instead.
