I haven't really read it all the way through but it was
mentioned on another list I'm on. Sounds a lot like Erlang to
me at first glance. But I don't really know Erlang. :-)
May be interesting food for thought.
Why people write articles without defining basic terminology,
as if like Humpty Dumpty in "Alice in Wonderland" words should
mean whatever they determine them to mean, is a mystery to me.
Reading a number of pages in the article, relating to OOP
versus "processes", no definition of the latter term was even
given ! Because of that I gave it a D- and quit.
What is really needed is a university whose sole purpose is to
teach computer programmers how to write discursive essays.
Those who appear to be the most talented often have no clue.
