Somewhat off-topic here, but you can do message passing in the scala actors
library between jvms with the scala.actor.remote.Actor.* classes, however
the current implementation seems pretty inefficient as it basically does a
while(inputStream.available() > 0) { ... } busy loop for each connection.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the future to use NIO or similar async io
techniques
