Publishing objects on ports ???

[punkfairie]

I'm so confused how your port service is working. As far as I can tell, portHandle.write() has never accepted objects. I tried doing so and got an error in game. How is yours working?

Netscript ports originally included their contents in save files, so they required all data to be serializable. When the PortHandle API was introduced and port data stopped being saved, the new methods did not enforce this requirement. A later update limited all port methods to only accept numbers and strings. So the port service code in this repo no longer works.

The current ports API supports sending immediate messages to an unlimited number of peers with await nextWritePort(n), so it could be used to build a similar system.
