[Shin The Gin] - Wouldn't it be nice for an interative environment to save its complete state into a file and restore it later?

How would one do it with Tcl?

I know [Tcl] has a lot of introspection capabilities, but do they enable a complete saving of states?

[RS]: See [serializing] and [Dumping interpreter state]

[NEM]: See also [continuation], depending on what is meant by interpreter state.

''[escargo]'': It sounds like saving and restoring a [Smalltalk] workspace (or also going
back a ways, an [APL] workspace). Squeak Smalltalk [http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak.1]
has workspaces.

[George Peter Staplin] You should be able to do essentially what Emacs does, and dump the dynamic portions of the executable image.  Basically with an ELF executable you can dump the .data segment to an image file, and then restore it on the next startup.  There's a little more involved, but it's definitely possible.
