> Do you have scenarios when grid-IDL makes sense?
Any scenario where transactions between nodes must be piped through
HTTP.
This implies that the clients are somehow remote, in which case you
would need to rely
on the free IDL-VM license. AFAIK administration of licensing for
remote clients is not feasible.

IDL does not offer useful levels of abstraction for dealing with
distributed data.
For example, there is no way to do array processing without loading
the entire array.
This isn't a show stopper, but it does force the programmer to do some
bookkeeping
and less inclined to be quick, tidy and interactive.

> Do you have suggestions for us?
Provide the ability to bootstrap the IDL virtual machine. (Send the VM
to the client and run the process)
