I interpret it as message passing between independent computing entities. For example, having a global object called "google" and an associated message "ask", or an object "HSBCBank" with a method "getMonthlyStatement". Instead, we started to apply OO principles from a software engineering point of view, in order to write big monoliths.

The message send is actually an object in Smalltalk. So, in process, out of process, to another box, this shouldn't matter. For performance reasons, all kinds of optimizations are present. In Pharo (http:/pharo.org), which is "Smalltalk inspired", there are new developments like the remote debugger: http://dionisiydk.blogspot.be/2016/07/remote-debugging-tools-is-ready.html http://dionisiydk.blogspot.be/2016/07/remote-debugging-tools... It is based on Seamless.

  Pharo isn't Smalltalk inspired, Pharo is a Smalltalk, one of several; it forked from Squeak to create a more business oriented Smalltalk rather than the garish toy for children that Squeak was.
