one of the strikes against dynamic deployment is that it is slower.
also, starting with java
source and then trying to abstract that to ruby, etc. there is no path.
the problem with rmi,
jini, etc. is that they are not language binding nimble.

over the years have changed to be "generated for client only" to "no
generation needed" in Java5.
I am a framework developer, and would like to "wrap" Etch under the
hoods, invisible to the user, but the "generated source" makes that a
LOT harder, unless I start "tunneling" high level interface methods
over more generic ones, which is a really, really bad idea. Do you
guys have any plans for more dynamic deployment options?
