Lightweight Flexible Isolation for Language-based Extensible Systems

Summary: Transaction-as-protection-domain enables direct object sharing in extensible language-based systems while containing faults and unauthorized accesses. Programmable isolation engine in a safe-language runtime supports flexible fine-grained locking and undo; memoized locking keeps overhead low amid concurrency.
