You can recompile an object in MudOS, but only new clones of that object get the recompiled code.

oh, i see. that was good enough for most cases though, but it doesn't help if players stay connected for long and keep objects from updating.

i agree, that's a good feature to have. smalltalk does it, and i think lisp too.

open-steam, a development platform written in pike solved that problem by implementing proxy objects which would point to the actually compiled object which can be replaced by pointing to a new version.
