> Cap'n'Proto dared to dream a little more multi-service, to follow somewhat after E-language, but never materialized 3-plus-way communication.

I still intend to implement this! It just has yet to become the most pressing issue for the projects I'm focused on, since the development model is already supported using proxying which makes 3-party handoff merely an optimization.



Its not at all like I dont see you being extremely extremely visible elsewhere doing tons of stuff. But I am excited to hear you still are excited for 3-party.

I'm not sure what thr designspace of a language that natively supports cap'n'proto would be & whether that'd be signififantly different than really good libraries or macros for a language. Maybe existing languages are flexible enough. But my gut is that we can mind of start having more ambient systems, ambient data, ambient code, more freely if we really built the language to work beyond the process scope from the start, using cap'n'proto as a base. I readily admit though there's probably some very fine ways to make this remote coding very seamless a development experience with what we've got though, if we want, perhaps with very very few rough spots.

Anyhow... thanks for the ongoing great work kv.
