There are several languages that implement tuple spaces: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple_space
Has anyone worked with tuple spaces in Erlang as a means of module communication/message passing for distributed computing; if so, what is your experience?
I may be wrong about tuple spaces, but ETS looks like it fits the definition on a node-local basis and with mnesia on top it would fit the definition in a distributed fashion. Many Erlang applications use ETS some way or the other, I might add.
If it is suitable depends on how much and how you want to store data.
