That is taking an off the shelf solution and adding some glue. I bet it's much easier to build such a system from scratch, using Erlang/BEAM, since communication is in its' "DNA".

Erlang/BEAM is also off the shelf solution, whose to say what's the "right amount" of abstraction a beginner should use? If you really wanna teach a student what's happening in the computer have them use assembly or maybe C, that's pretty much the only way.
