[tailhook]

Probably yes, it's a problem of a baggage. If you would start clean, you need two things:

1. Support full threading and one of the memory models that allows it. To have an inspiration look at Clojure, Rust, Go, Erlang (probably I don't mean any particular order).

2. Have a standard communication way between processes, like Erlang has. My favourite would be to implement SP protocol family developed as a part of nanomsg library (https://github.com/nanomsg/nanomsg/tree/master/rfc).
