Hi Jan,

Not really, but somewhat similar. I'm working towards building more
complex web applications with J. The notion that a single request
could block all other requests makes me uncomfortable.  Let's say a
calculation takes 5 seconds and I want 4 people to be able to execute
the calculation at once. I don't want the last person to wait 20
seconds.

This was the motivation for my proof of concept
https://github.com/joebo/j-fork-server for windows. I really like the
idea of being cross platform. I have a inexpensive linux virtual
private server that I'd like to be able to run J apps on. Also, I want
to be able to create apps that run on Windows servers for development
or possibly production. The cross platform story is a strong value
proposition for J

As an aside, this approach could be used to create a master/worker framework.

For example, in C#, I could execute multiple parallel requests to a J
web server and pass the unit of work in the request. I could then do a
WaitAll() for all those units of work to complete.
