JSON is a safe subset of JavaScript. It is meaningful in a JavaScsript

Because JSON strings are a subset of strings in general, I don't see how
limiting to just JSON strings can be useful.
I am a big fan of asynchronicity, but I don't think it is indicated in
this case. I want tighter temporal binding between the sender and the
receiver
so that they can cooperate in event handling. Such patterns are
complicated if event handling is also the medium of communication. I
also want an
exception raised on sending if there isn't a corresponding receiver.
This is an important indication of willingness and ability to cooperate.
You need to define precisely what happens in the context of the receiver
when it handles a message. Does script processing suspend for that time?
Or does it run in parallel to handling the message?
