This reminds me of Smalltalk image model and Temporal. Migratable processes would be useful to shutdown my machine, move it and then resume where I left off, a

  Temporal? (I'm fascinated by e.g. termite scheme, I like learning about more variations on this theme :)

      It's basically dead now* but it was an extension of gambit scheme that was designed to be part of a networked system out of the box, including the capacity to spawn a 'process' (think erlang-style) on another node from a thunk. There was a paper on providing r7rs module support that I preserved a copy of here: https://trout.me.uk/lisp/termite-r7rs.pdf https://trout.me.uk/lisp/termite-r7rs.pdf * as tends to rapidly become the fate of esoteric lisp projects, but I still find them fascinating to steal ideas from

It requires your program be deterministic. Thank you for mentioning Termite scheme, I'll look into that. I'll drop you an email if you want to talk about thoughts, dreams about this topic since you're interested :-)
