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?
