The abstract idea is great, but why is it so low-level? Generalizing the various forms of procedure invocations is something that I would certainly like to do (although it is maybe too soon right now). But why does the representation have to be bits? Even Python's code objects are more than a string of bytes. What would be useful in my opinion is the definition of a Python interface that can be implemented by various notions of "code objects", including CPython's code objects, CPython's built-in function objects, and anything else from Psyco- or GCC-produced machine code to Prolog rules compiled by PyLog. A bientôt, Armin.
