agree with you. However, this is a bit of a hobby horse of mine, so
here goes: It would be really great to have a true, easy to use
distributed object protocol for JS (sort of like what Kevin Reid
showed us with E, where he simply schlepped an object from one "vat"
to another). That protocol would of necessity be JS specific. And that
would be ok.
Although Caja-CapTP supports idiomatic Caja, the protocol is not Caja or JS specific. I had thought at one point that it was but Kevin corrected me. Some improvements were made over prior CapTP implementations regarding choice of identifiers. Once CapTP for E-on-Common Lisp is upgraded with the same improvements, then, transport-layer-issues aside, IIUC, they should be able to interoperate. Kevin?
