OK, that's a wrap as far as I am concerned.
Sure. But you can't cache that.
Making every interprocedural call into a full-blown HTTP round trip is
absurd, really. I don't want every character I type that goes to my
email client to get translated into an HTTP POST carrying enough
information in the URI to identify which email draft it should get
appended to.
If they're not really doing it for *everything*, but only the bits that
one thinks in advance might need it, then I don't really see why it's
different from anything else. All they're saying is "cool, we have this
efficient caching web server library that includes really sophisticated
mod_rewrite". OK, so what's new?
If you *are* doing it for everything, it means that every process in
your machine is actually a web server and a web client, including every
device driver, every window, etc. Which seems like an awful lot of overhead.
Check out the Singularity stuff and see what happens when you really
start over with an OS.
