| | An Introduction to Ten15 |
 | | Ten15 also had a type Type, the type of values that represent a type at runtime, but this was usually only needed for the interactive shell, for debugging, and for implementing run-time typed languages, such as LISP. |
 | | The Ten15 filestore was modelled on that of Flex, with a mostly non-overwriting structure, and object roots stored in presistent variables updated using two-phase commit algorithms from database theory, so that the filestore was never in an inconsistent state. |
 | | Unfortunately, the one language Ten15 could not support was C, since C is not adequately typed, and this - in the era of C's rising dominance - was a big reason for Ten15's downfall. |
