Oh boy! Good story. And of course he just reinvents a procedure with all this. There are things that are procedural, they should probably be expressed as procedures. The problem is that there are many things we want to express that are not really naturally procedural, yet we have to express them procedurally as well. 2nd order problem is that when there is another mechanism, people then want to use that as the "this can do everything"-mechanism. Yes, you're clever, now sit down. I have seen fibonacci expressed as dataflow more times than I care to remember. It's not a pretty sight. But dataflow expressed procedurally also not so cool.
