We have a framework at <job> to do memoization as well as distributed compute - in fact the memoization was mostly a happy side effect of the need to transfer serialized function arguments to other machines.

Your addition of code/runtime dependencies intrigues me. I will probably take a look at your code to try to understand this better.

I somehow doubt there's enough overlap for us to open source our work and try to merge with yours, but it's really cool to see other people working on similar concepts. I predict we'll see a lot more frameworks like these that lean on mathematical principles like functional purity in the future.
