The question of shared state vs. message passing is orthogonal to processes vs. threads. Both techniques can be and are commonly used in both situations.

- gnaritas 9y agoNo it isn't. Clearly both techniques "can" be used, but that one "allows" shared state trivially and one doesn't matters greatly; it is not orthogonal, you just don't grasp the point being made about the nature of the choice of abstractions and the problems that come with them.
