Quotation Skeleton

To make memory allocation correctness a local property … that a [deep] copy of the object being … share an object. … The ESP runtime avoids copying objects by maintaining … [deep] reference counts … [p. 247] ESP disallows global variables … To support [value semantics] efficiently, ESP allows only immutable … out operation but also to all objects recursively … [p.250] The deep copy … does not preserve pointer sharing   Google-1   Google-2
