abstract: Designed for simplicity, a 'mirai' evaluates an R expression asynchronously,
  locally or distributed over the network. Built on 'nanonext' and 'NNG' for modern
  networking and concurrency, scales efficiently to millions of tasks over thousands
  of parallel processes. Provides optimal scheduling over fast 'IPC', TCP, and TLS
  connections, integrating with SSH or cluster managers. Implements event-driven promises
  for reactive programming, and supports custom serialization for cross-language data
  types.
