It's comparable to FBP, and indeed, such a comparison has been made, specifically with Linda: [0] In effect, the difference stems from whether you want to explicitly allocate ports to processing nodes, or if you want nodes that discern connections associatively. 9p/styx is also worth bringing into the discussion for an inverted understanding of the problem: where these languages suggest what the graph should look like when operating correctly, as in a batch process, what Plan9 did was to reason through how to connect up the nodes dynamically and debug multiprocessing "in detail", which is relevant when your connections fail.
