Another approach would be to write your code in Racket, and bind to
the Open MPI libraries using the C FFI:

http://docs.racket-lang.org/foreign/index.html

You might then find that it is best to write your head node in Racket,
and your compute nodes in C -- or, perhaps not. You would, however,
have a "standard" transport underneath your code, and MPI is pretty
straight-forward to bind to.

Cheers,
Matt
