Inter-language interop is hard, but protocol buffers have good code generation across a wide variety of languages. Are there tools for generating stateless IPC calls / dispatchers, without the need for sockets or long running processes like gRPC? I imaginec-interop code would be needed to pass byte arrays around, but I hope it'd be minimal and independent of the data serialization and RPC logic. Does / could this exist?

Without a long-running process, what would this look like? what would cause the remote / out-of-process execution?
