Well, processing (the Python module) serves as a good example how shared memory can be emulated through message passing. Of course, performance takes a hit but since it is out there and being used by people it should tell us that is really af feasible solution. I guess the gist of the answers people posted to your question still remains, the answer depends on if you consider performance as part of the "power" of each approach.
