Hello all, I've seen various attempts to add distributed computing capabilities on top of an existing language. For a true distributed system I would expect it to be possible to instantiate objects of a remote class or to subclass a remote class and other stuff like this. My impression is that those things are difficult when built on top of an existing language.
Since the paradigm "everything is an object" pays so well, I thought it might be less painful to implement a distributed system from ground up, starting with the paradigm: "everything is a distributed object". Do you know if such a thing has been attempted with python, i.e. by hacking the python core and add new capabilities to "object". Or do you think that this is really a silly idea ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
