Pah - all these newcomers with interpreted/bytecode languages for remote functions!

It's easy to send text or bytecode to another instance of your runtime. I did a distributed system sending native code functions to be executed remotely.

Fair enough, it was for academic purposes, but it worked[1].

-------------------------------------

[1] By "worked" I mean got a passing grade on a thesis that got an IMDB number. Probably still got the actual PDF somewhere, or maybe it was indexed by google at some point.

Good Catch :-)

I'm gonna leave that there so that your comment remains funny!
