Perhaps you could built in a "regular" fashion and just compile it like that? You could write normal code and let the compiler do the massive work to handle all that and compile everything into somethign that distributes over the network.

If I'm not mistaken that's how most of the actor model frameworks are supposed to work. An example is Akka. The developer writes code communicating between actors using an interface that abstracts how they are actually communicating.

Interesting idea. Did you mean to imply that such a compiler exists or just that it's theoretically possible?

It's 1) theoretically possible in generalized fashion (although the language could make things easier) 2) it does exist in loose sense if you consider actor models (like someone else was mentioning)

In my opinion, this is the point at which FaaS becomes viable
