   Ada 83 is a good language to model such applications.  It's easy to
   develop a 'non-distributed' application using tasks.  You can debug
   the single program (one of the real pains in developing distributed
   systems), and then replace task entry calls with calls to RPCs.

This type of capability is certainly not unique to Ada.  For example,
Sun RPC's rpcgen facility produces server and client stubs in a way
that if you want to test your program without using RPC's, you can
simply link the client and server code together, leaving out the
stubs, and everything will work.
