On a given machine, you can *run* programs only on that machine. If you want to run a program on a different machine, you must somehow invoke it using a network service already configured to do that. What service are you expecting to use? SSH? HTTP? There is nothing about a programming language interpreter which pents a way to run programs across a network, unless you can specify *how* that is to happen. What do you imaging a user doing, exactly, on machine ‘foo’ to make a program execute on machine ‘bar’? At what step – exactly how – does the communication between the machines occur to invoke the program? How is the user's input, and the program's output, communicated in a way that machine ‘foo’ knows to interact with machine ‘bar’? -- \ “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.
