The said author is Joe Armstrong (of Erlang fame)

  Yep, I just got that and updated my post to include argument supporting my point. Inventing a language doesn't preclude you from being sorely wrong.

    Agreed. Not knowing the author is all the more better as the response will be not clouded by "OMG, he created Erlang :)"

      At the same time, Erlang handles its problem domain like a champ. Knowing that this was written by Joe Armstrong, you can see that he might be approaching this from a different angle than others, even if he is lacking in eloquence here. I would tend to agree that OO is pretty bad for highly parallel programs, which makes this all seem a bit more reasonable.
