JavaSpaces is very cool, and the JavaSpaces book is a classic, explaining an idea
new to the mainstream clearly and with code you could copy and paste to get
something you understand up and running.
It would easily be possible to reproduce much of the functionality of JavaSpaces
using data objects represented in XML passed around via XML-RPC (or a simple HHTP
request) so languages other than Java (such as, say, Dylan) could collaborate in
tuple spaces. This would require software to be pre-installed on clients, as you
wouldn't have the "advantage" of being able to download and run arbitary code,
but in practice you'd want to pre-install with most JavaSpaces applications
anyway.
