Merger

public interface Eval

extends java.lang.Runnable, java.io.Serializable

This defines the Eval interface. An Eval object isRunnable and Serializable and contains a getResult() method that return an object.

This interface is inspired by the book MirrorWorld by David Gelernter. This interface and the associated Worker class implements his idea of clients that will grab tuples that contain eval() functions, run the procedure indicated by the eval() and then return the answer to the tuplespace.
