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. The queued architecture scales
  efficiently to millions of tasks over thousands of connections, requiring no storage
  on the file system. Innovative features include event-driven promises, asynchronous
  parallel map, and seamless serialization of otherwise non-exportable reference objects.
