I just saw that ROS2 will be based on the DDS standard. I came across DDS before in a different context and it impressed me a lot. It reminds me of the concepts in the eve programming language where to build a distributed system you share a global data space. Both took inspiration from LINDA and tuple spaces.

Thank god for that. I had an internship where I just wrote a shim layer between DDS and Ros Messages. It was a huge pain since they didn't map very well to each other.
