[erlang-questions] What is the point of Spawn(Node, Fun) if Node has to have the same module loadable as a client node?

[Nathaniel Waisbrot]

> Why create illusion that you are sending a Fun to remote node to execute in a new process? If client node has to have same module loadable with the Fun defined as a server node anyway. Why not only spawn(Node, M, F, A) then, which makes it clear that you are sending a definition of a function call, not Fun itself.
> I am experimenting with distributed Erlang and want it to pass clojures around "willy nilly", even through network. "Code is data" kinda thing.

Are you the same person as "Sharas" who posted this question on StackOverflow, or are you just copy/pasting it to this list?

It seems like several people already put good effort into answering there.
