There's gob ( http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/gob/ http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/gob/ ). Not going to claim it's on the level of node communication in Erlang, but it does make data (de)serializaiton incredibly simple. With only a few lines of code you could have a channel reading from and writing to a socket to another machine.
