I wanted to try an experiment in presenting Erlang/OTP in a different way from lang Vs lang. Wanted a "Hello World" that was building a cluster, cos you can't do that with Node, lol...
I appreciate the effort, but focusing on the multi-machine single-image clustering part would probably make more sense. Runing many processes on one machine is pretty easy and mainstream these days. Show me how to easily run code securely across a handful of dedicated machines (perhaps connected via ip6 and ipsec) - and you'll have my attention. ..
I'm still waiting on an update on dragonfly's ssi story now that there are no free and open ssi solutions for linux... i fondly remember having fun with open mosix...

Yeah, but I am trying to get people to build a "Hello World" cluster in 5 minutes - so single machine, multi-node is easier...
Wow, I haven't heard mosix in forever. Or beowulf cluster, for that matter...
