I really liked the Linda concept for concurrency but it doesn't seem to have caught on in general. It isn't the same as what is being presented here but it side steps the threads issues, the multiple cpu issues, all that falls out for free. Seemed pretty cool and I suppose you could layer on cancellations (but I suspect it would be a mess like pthread_cancel()).

Anyone else like that stuff? Or have any insight why it isn't more widely used? Maybe it's because it was a commercial thing?
