Yeah, but it doesn't really seem to fit this particular format, in that this one is sort of an "idempotent" method where you submit your code and the results are calculated deterministically by the server. The other way would require something to be compiled and run on the clients' individual machines. It'd be nice to not have to install any libraries or worry about connecting to a server at the "right" time.
