Is there any interests in libraries for distributed message passing and event dispatching?
Yes, but I'm afraid that enumerating my own requirements would throw a wrench in the works. I work primarily with the Message Passing Interface (MPI) for message passing in high-performance computing applications. Although we still work with the message-passing paradigm (and could benefit from a higher-level message passing library), our performance requirements make it such that we need to avoid extraneous buffering at all costs. I hope to get a chance to look at Channel in the future, but for now I have a simple question for you: Have you looked at MPI before, and does it fit into your idea of distributed message passing?
