Interesting! You might be interested in an old HN discussion between Alan Kay and Rich Hickey (JGI). It sounds to me like dit is basically an attempt at solving the problem that Alan Kay was getting at when he conceptualized “object oriented programming” as affecting behavior (even extracting information) from an object by passing messages to it — which would be a critical bottleneck when trying to build an “inter-galactic network” in the spirit of Licklider’s vision.
