Hello,


MPI is at the wrong level of abstraction for application writers

Because programming at the transport layer, where every exchange of data 
has to be implemented with lovingly hand-crafted sends and receives or 
gets and puts, is an incredibly awkward fit for numerical application 
developers, who want to think in terms of distributed arrays, data 
frames, trees, or hash tables etc.

Thank you,
