Alex, you clearly misunderstand. I expect you use Java or maybe C++ or somesuch. Do you have to understand Turing completness or lambda calculus to use them? Just because you drive a car doesn't mean you have to be a mechanic.
WS-CDL using the open source www.pi4soa.org tool suite which is itself using pi-calculus does not mean you have to understand it. We have a lot of people using it who have not got a clue about pi or lambda or any other sort of formalism. The plain fact is they don't need to know about that stuff. That is the whole point of WS-CDL and the tool suite. It uses the stuff but hides it from you and so delivers value. Rather than issue such a criticism I suggest that you try the tools out and then if you have an issue you are at least basing it on fact and not fiction, hearsay or the usual FUD (fear uncertainty and doubt). I look forward to a more factual response next time.
