Mango has facilities for doing this though, without dynamic linking, the relevant classes need to be pre-linked. That's currently a limitation of the D runtime. However, Pragma is working on a dynamic loader that will fill that gap, which Mango will certainly take advantage of when it becomes available (soon, I think). At that point you'll be able to easily send, dynamically link, and execute Objects within a peer-to-peer network.

Take a look at the Mango example called pickle.d for a simplistic illustration of class serialization. The mango.cluster package is related, and can be used to send serialized objects around a network as messages and/or tasks. As I indicated, those classes currently need to be statically linked at each of the peer nodes.

That sound good, i will look at Mango.

Thank you.
