Some interesting points: - One cell has protein molecules with 5,000 atoms each; 30% of cell is 120 million components that transmit information; About 100GB of state. - The internet is the only successful OO program - Your program should be able to change its code as it runs My own interpretation of the "messaging" paradigm is this: you send 100 people a letter with some random symbols in it and say, "I would like a pony." Over time you will get letters back, and eventually you will get a response which is basically what you were looking for. Then you send more letters. Also I'd mention that based on the bugs in the erlang code I've seen, it should stop being used as some kind of holy savior of the unscaling mess of OO code out there. I don't find it any better than C code.
