At its core this is very similar to the ideas behind Finagle, which are expounded upon here http://monkey.org/~marius/funsrv.pdf.

Is it? The cool thing demonstrated here is that you can send functions over the wire. I can't find any facility in Finagle to do that. Indeed, prior to JVM 8 the permgen made such systems all but impossible in java-land.
