Erlang/OTP is based on the idea of location transparency to the core, I would recommend you have a look at it.

If the Erlang syntax is too weird, Elixir allows you to use ruby-like syntax on the Erlang VM. It also comes with an absolutely amazingly powerful lisp-like macro system.

This looks nice. It would be nice if someone could put the demo app up on the play store so you don't need to download and compile the thing to check it out.

I have worked a bit with elixir and erlang lately, but i'm not means an expert. I have to say, the biggest advantage elixir has against erlang for me is the macro system. It seems to manage to combine a ruby-like syntax with lisp-like macros, and it works incredibly well. Because of this it is very easy to create DSLs.

When doing binary communication in javascript, I usually use protocol buffers. https://github.com/dcodeIO/ProtoBuf.js/ is a nice protocol buffer library for javascript that also works in the browser.

If I'm not mistaken, most standard IR sensors have built-in demodulators. They most likely want to keep the parts needed for a receiver as off the shelf as possible.

Bitofnews provides a nice and short summary of current events, I quite like it.
