RPC vs TCP (Redux)

We have been writing about the possibilities for a request/response transport paradigm (as an alternative to TCP's reliable byte stream) since the 1990s, and yet we seem to keep finding new angles to approach the problem. We’re not sure yet if there is a whole book in this topic, but we certainly have enough material for this week’s newsletter and probably more to come.
