Display Postscript has a garbage collection memory manager and
multiple threads of control. Deliberate discards, undef, shared VM
and other features add to the usefulness of the new memory management
model. Multiple execution contexts are also supported by locks and
conditions. Multiple storage devices, named files, and file
positioning control are also available.
In short, DPS adds many features that make it a more useful language
for general-purpose programming. Note, however, that it is still
designed as a rather niche-specific language, and should be treated as
such.
