Wow! This is awesome. Is it possible to get all of us benefitted by having
an early access to your work on this?

I just started diving inside POOMA internals(specially PETE's usage) with
the idea to use proto instead. If for you, it has taken 2 years to rewrite
something like blitz++ in proto, then for me rewriting POOMA might take no
less than 6 years or so.
