[Cuis] I need an idea. I know you have some. Give.

[Angel Java Lopez]

Umm.... I don't know the "state-of-the-art" in Squeak, but one thing I
implemented that it was useful for my projects (in Node.js), was something
like RPC (remote procedure call), or in terms of Smalltalk, send a message
to other machine, specifying the target object (by id?), selector and
serialized arguments. In my case, Node.js ecosystem already had such
implementations, I wrote my own to practice.

But if it is a relatively "brave new world" in Smalltalk/Squeak (note that
you can implement a protocol, to have client/servers in different Smalltalk
protocols).

At Smalltalks 2011 (Entre Rios, Argentina) I attended to a talk about the
future of Pharo, where it was briefly mentioned Distributed Smalltalk. But
I don't sure what is it, or its status.

I'm wrote something alike the above description, but only in my C# VM
implementation:
