Problem here : RPC and promises are radically against message passing. They enable you to add some concurrency and parallelism to your "single threaded" program, but there are whole class of problems and optimisations they can not solve.
In general, synchronous message passing or RPC can not work. At all. There are too much edge cases where it breaks the laws of physics.

In general, RPC have some fundamental problems, among other, they need you to ship the full context.
