Somewhat reminiscent of agl's awesome-but-defunct pond, with turn-based rather than randomized sends.

Anyone know why it's defunct, if it's so awesome?

The author graduated and nobody stepped up to maintain the work. Happens to 99% of graduate student projects. The sad truth here is a lot of well maintained open source work is funded by companies who pay individuals to work and/or maintain the projects. Lots of cool ideas have no such luck.

OK, I get it. I didn't know that he did Pond as a grad student.
