[Swift-devel] CPU usage with provider-deef

[Mike Wilde]

sorry, I still believe this can be fun. You can tell me afterwards 
if I was right or not.

I think from Ioan's work we can gain some understanding of the 
problem, of architecture issues, performance potential, and of 
protocol and reliability issues.

I feel it can still be fun to design a new production-quality system 
from scratch, and to prototype and implement that.

Mihael, I think you had a vision of how this could be done elegantly 
using Karajan mechanisms as powerful building blocks to build on, to 
provide the communication and messaging / remote execution fabric.

I hope its not the case that the only part of programming thats fun 
is prototyping.

If you spend your day in powerpoint, word and email, anything 
related to code can look like fun...
