abstract: Designed for simplicity, a 'mirai' evaluates an R expression asynchronously
  in a parallel process, locally or distributed over the network. Modern networking
  and concurrency, built on 'nanonext' and 'NNG', ensures reliable scheduling over
  fast inter-process communications or TCP/IP secured by TLS. Launch remote resources
  via SSH or cluster managers for distributed computing. Scales efficiently to millions
  of tasks over thousands of connections, requiring no storage on the file system
  due to its inherently queued architecture. Innovative features include event-driven
  promises, asynchronous parallel map, and seamless serialization of otherwise non-exportable
  reference objects.
