Concurrency via multithreading, multiprocessing and multihosting.

---

The goal of the kipjak library is to deliver software interaction, wherever the relevant software entities may be located. At the lowest level this involves a message-driven framework providing for seamless communication between threads, processes and hosts. At higher levels it delivers responsiveness, concurrency and clarity.

• Sophistication with clarity ••• separation from the details of threads and networks
• Quick on-boarding ••• cookbook of multithreading, multiprocessing and multihosting solutions
• Optimal throughput ••• load distribution across threads, processes and hosts
• Quality client feedback ••• negative responses to requests during periods of heavy load
• Simple leveraging of sub-processes ••• load child processes as callable libraries
• Process orchestration ••• definition and execution of process groups
• System daemons ••• foreground or background execution
• Publish-subscribe networking ••• networking without network addresses
• Industrial-grade encryption ••• NaCl (Salt)
• HTTP integration ••• RPC or RESTful APIs
• Technical support ••• baked-in logging, log storage and log recovery
