My interest in this is atm is research oriented. I do feel LASP is a great project and I'd like to see more work in this area because I believe there is a general lack of distributed programming systems which abstract away an entire network of computers. I believe that is where the future lies - we do not want to be programming one OS process at a time and use a disparate array of containers, while building very large and complicated systems. Passing through a causal context seems like a good idea. I'm not that familiar with Erlang but perhaps it doesn't have to be fully transparent? I presume there is a subset of processes that would participate in the distributed implementation and each could be encapsulated by another LASP process that wraps/unwraps messages as they go out/in and handles the metadata? Btw, some related ideas exist in Croquet/TeaTime as well (http://www.vpri.org/pdf/tr2003001_croq_collab.pdf http://www.vpri.org/pdf/tr2003001_croq_collab.pdf)
