What I'm thinking of would be to combine an actor framework like Kilim,
actorsguild, actorsfoundry, or Akka with a tree-based or tuple-based
store acessed by an clojure-style agent as mediator. Using a JavaSpaces
implementation would give you event notification for free. Wonder
whether Blitz can be run in vm-local mode. Then it would be an option.

Subject: Tuple spaces and actors
Hi,
has anybody thought of combining Linda-style tuple spaces with
clojure-style agents? I just got the idea that combining actors with
tuple spaces would be a useful fit. There is a single actor that
controls access to the tuple space in an asynchronous actor-style
fashion. Every access to the tuple space is queued. The queue is
processed sequentially by a single actor associated with that tuple
space or a sub-tree of it (hence no race conditions as with clojure
agents). This would also automatically add event notification to the
actors in use. The actor frameworks I've seen so far don't have that.
Just would like to discuss this a bit with anybody interested in the idea.
Cheers, Oliver
