I've been waiting for this!

Martin thank you very much for this.
Very interesting speech.
Goes to my favorites next to Iain presentation.

The first couple talks were posted to Hacker News as well. Have 
you stopped posting these there now?

Walter used to do that. I'll do it from now on.

With regard to the last point in the talk where Walter was 
suggesting not calling finalizers on objects whose code has been 
unloaded - would it not make more sense to simply call all the 
finalizers before unloading the library?

If the finalizer is not called you will potentially get resource 
leaks - although there's no guarantee currently that it will be 
called, isn't there the assumption that if it's not called the 
object still exists, even if it's not referenced anywhere? ie. 
you still have some guarantee that if you keep allocating objects 
and then unreferencing them that the number of unfinalized 
objects will never exceed some large but fixed value.

In fact, I think in discussions after the talk (not recorded on video), we  
came to the same conclusion.  If you are unloading the library and have  
any pointers to classes from that library, that is a programming error.   
So it should be safe to destroy all known objects from that library.
