This being the prag list, and hoping to save my own fingers from as
much crispiness as possible, what would be the "harsh, but simplifying
restrictions" you would impose, or what models/lanugages worked for
you (or didn't)? My context is more distributed workflow oriented than
pure HPC, but any thoughts based on your experience would be most
welcome. 

Thanks,
