Hi Kooda,

I just had a look at your code.  You might find it interesting that I've 
been working on a termite-alike API for a couple of years.  It's core 
code does essentially the same message passing etc. After all it's 
inspired by Erlang like termite.

The difference wrt termite: termite does not enforce share-nothing 
semantics.  Thus you still *can* use side effects, which makes it not 
fit for the restricted semantics we've build atop: our application 
messages are delivered in parallel at a set of host nodes in a 
peer-to-peer network and the handlers are only actually applied if more 
than 2/3rd of the set agree on a checksum for the handlers effects.

BTW: This is chicken in action.
