Using hindsight, most of the systems that pretend that the network part of invoking RPCs is "easy" and "simple" and "local" end up being very complex, slow and error prone themselves.
See DCOM, DCE, CORBA and EJBs RMI.
You need instead a efficient RPC protocol that doesn't hide the fact it is a RPC protocol - like Cap'n Proto (it's "time-traveling RPC" feature is very interesting).
