Nerdly note: One of my cow-orkers has been doing some benchmarking, and on most Un*x platforms interprocess pipe communication is optimized out the yinyang, so there's essentially no reason not to structure systems as layers of separate process talking through pipes. This is emphatically not the case under Windows, but that's not a viable scalable enterprise platform anyway, so why would you care?

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
