This made me stop and think for a moment as to what this would look like as well. I'm having trouble finding it, but I think there was a post by Joe Armstrong (of Erlang) that talked about globally (as in across system boundaries, not global as in global variable) addressable functions?

Not sure if I've read such an article, but it would be a reasonable next step from the globally addressable processes of the BEAM VM.

As I understand it Unison tries to do something like that but that might be wrong.
