Does Julia provide facilities for overloading it's standard IPC mechanisms with my own?
For example, I'd like to be able to extend the environment to use the LINX protocols from Enea. However, there are plenty of other IPC mechanisms out there as well(OpenBinder, TIPC, etc...) Are there any plans to support these mechanisms as part of the language/compiler system natively?(I'm thinking in terms of the Ada Distributed System Annex) Also, is there a way to abstract the Process/Thread a little more. Conceptually they work great for people working(or are used to working) in a *nix/Windows environment. But suppose Julia was ported to a Mainframe, or a VMS cluster, where those concepts might not fit as well anymore? Pointers? Dimonax
