I found the whole discussion about modularity, or lack of it, in Java, interesting and informative re e.g. _why_ it's so slow to start and takes up such a huge footprint. I'm glad the editor pointed it out.

Me too. I'm interested in trying to work out if something similar would be useful for my project (guile). Would be especially interested to hear any LWN reader experience/comments on consequent runtime cost, i.e. the cost of having to dlopen more small libraries, to get everything that an application needs.
