Yes, I think Linda mostly lurks under the covers these days.  Their Piranha
project, which aims to soak up spare CPU cycles to do parallel computing,
uses Linda.  I suspect Linda is probably hidden somewhere inside Lifestreams
as well.

As a correction to my original note, Nicholas Carriero was the other primary
lead on Linda.  I no longer recall the details, but he may have been on of
Gelernter's grad students in the late 80's.
