I don't know the "state-of-the-art" in Squeak, but one thing I implemented that it was useful for my projects (in Node.js), was something like RPC (remote procedure call), or in terms of Smalltalk, send a message to other machine, specifying the target object (by id?), selector and serialized arguments. In my case, Node.js ecosystem already had such implementations, I wrote my own to practice.

I really don't think Squeak is the state of the art, so we don't have to worry about that part. VPRI will probably take care of that for us in the long run. But that's a research system and we have a rock solid system NOW that we can apply to real problems. How lucky and priveledged are we? I'd say: pretty damned lucky.
