hello, I couldn’t find inter-process communication package in Julia. For example using mmap and shared lock, etc. I saw some package at [https://github.com/emmt/InterProcessCommunication.jl](https://github.com/emmt/InterProcessCommunication.jl)  
but it is sort of discontinued.

Anyone with experience in related LLVM library, and Julia’s internal, and/or interested in getting involved in a project to do this or give some pointers on how to do it. Many thanks.
