Hi Makarius! Regarding PolyML feature I would prefer Haskell. What I need is some distribution abstraction; usable day one. So I think I will go with Erlang or Scala if the remote actor library proves to be usable enought at this stage. Anyway; thanks for the pointer, it's always useful to get feedback! Stephane.
