An overview of Tangence
=======================
Tangence is all of the following:
1. A single server/multiple client protocol for sharing information
about objects.
2. A data model - it defines the types of values that are transmitted
between the server and clients.
3. An object model - it defines the abstract look-and-feel of objects
that are visible in the server end, and the proxies to them that
exist in the client ends.
4. A wire protocol - it defines the bits down the wire of some stream.
5. A collection of Perl modules (a Perl distribution) which implements
all of the above.
These writings may sometimes suffer the "Java problem"; the problem of
the same name being applied to too many different concepts. I'll try to
make the context or wording clear to minimise confusions.
