> It would be interesting to see a IPC system that abstracted away where the other process was running or treated processes running on an entirely different machine or VM as another local process. Forcing everything into the same abstraction can have issues. For instance, calling a different machine has orders of magnitude more overhead and different error scenarios than making a call to a local process. If you make them look identical, you obscure that.
