The Future of Distributed Systems Programming: Beyond Existing Paradigms
2025-02-27
This article explores the limitations of existing distributed systems programming models, including external-distribution, static-location, and arbitrary-location architectures. The author argues that these models are merely improvements on existing sequential programming paradigms and fail to truly address inherent challenges in distributed systems like concurrency, fault tolerance, and version control. The article calls for a native distributed programming model that offers stronger safety and control, similar to Rust, while maintaining performance and scalability, and better cooperating with large language models.
